Maple Bacon Muffins

Description:
These muffins smelled heavenly while baking and they're so soft and flavorful, warm or not. I just couldn't get enough of it. I got the recipe from tasteofhome.com and next time, I will tweak the recipe to make more variations of this wonderful muffin.

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
(I used 5 strips Applegate Farms Turkey Bacon)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup maple syrup

Directions:
Combine the flour, bacon, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, oil and maple syrup.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the liquid ingredients. Mix to moisten; do not overmix.
Using a scooper, fill paper-lined standard muffin pans, about 3/4 full.
Bake at 400F for about 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
