  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Muffin tin

  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined—do not overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  7. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled turkey bacon, distributing evenly throughout the batter.

  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full for a domed top.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes; then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature for a savory, cheesy bite with crispy bacon bits.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or a pinch of black pepper into the batter before baking.
