Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Maple Bacon Pancake Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, maple syrup, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the crumbled bacon until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full with batter.
  7. Bake for approximately 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
