Bacon Muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup maple syrup

In a large bowl, combine the flour, bacon, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, oil and syrup until moistened.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire tack. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes 1 dozen.
