Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cups Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Chopped bell pepper (optional)
• 0.25 cups Chopped green onions
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bell peppers (if using), and green onions. Add black pepper if desired.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
