By Booper-2

Ingredients

• 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon (15 mL) baking powder
• 2 teaspoons (10 mL) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) dry mustard powder
• 3/4 teaspoon (4 mL) salt
• 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) Black Diamond Italiano shredded cheese, divided
• 1/3 cup (75 mL) crumbled, cooked bacon
• 1 cup (250 mL) cup milk
• 3/4 cup (175 mL) Mazola* 100% Pure Canola Oil
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped chives or green onion
• 2 large Naturegg™ Omega 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) BeeHive* Golden Corn syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Sift the flour with the baking powder, sugar, mustard and salt into a large bowl. Add 1 cup (250 mL) cheese and the bacon; toss to combine. Whisk the milk with the oil, chives, eggs and corn syrup in a separate bowl; add to the dry mixture. Stir just until combined.

Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cups. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese; serve warm. Makes 12 muffins.
