These savory muffins are perfect for breakfast or a snack, combining the delightful flavors of bacon and cheese in a fluffy muffin.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, milk, and egg until just moistened. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon gently into the batter.
Ensure the cheese and bacon are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Fill each cup about three-quarters full for a nice rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
