  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. If making the maple glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and enough milk to reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled muffins.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure the bacon is cooked until crispy before crumbling it into the batter.
