Cheddar Bacon and Green Onion Muffins image

These muffins are fabulous eaten just baked warm out of the oven... great to serve warm with stew or soup or anything! They freeze well for up to 1 month, just warm before serving. Use a slightly heaping tablespoon of baking powder for this recipe. If you like heat add in 1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper. Prep time does not include cooking bacon.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

7 slices bacon
1 cup old cheddar cheese, grated (grate about 2-3 tablespoons extra cheese on a fine grater to use for topping)
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder (slightly heaping)
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or 1 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs

Steps:

Set oven to 375 degrees.
Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
Grease 12 muffins tins or line with pappers.
Cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp; drain and let cool, then crumble into small pieces (this can be done well in advance or even a day ahead).
In a small bowl combine 2-3 tablespoons crumbled bacon and about 2-3 tablespoons cheddar cheese; set aside.
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper.
Stir in the remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon; mix to combine.
Whisk together, milk, oil, sour cream and eggs, then add/mix in green onions.
Pour over the dry ingredients; stir JUST until moistened.
Spoon into prepared muffin tins.
Sprinkle with reserved bacon/cheese mixture on top of the batter.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden.

Tips:

Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavour of the muffins.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Bacon and cheddar muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast food. They are perfect for on-the-go mornings or for a quick and satisfying snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a batch of these muffins ready in no time. So next time you're looking for something quick and tasty to eat, give bacon and cheddar muffins a try.
