Preparation

Step 1

For Bacon:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Top baking sheet with oven safe cooling rack, or just use a broiler pan. Lay bacon across cooling rack, leaving a small space between each piece, until covered. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until crisp. Drain on plate covered with paper towels. Crumble or slice into bite size pieces.

For Muffins:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, & sugar. Stir in cheese & bacon crumbles, set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together egg, milk & oil. Add in dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Spray a muffin tin liberally with cooking spray. Spoon muffin batter into tins, filling them approximately 2/3 full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Serve immediately or let cool and store in airtight container.
