Maple Bacon Pancake Muffins
These are my Maple Bacon Pancake Muffins that I make on the weekend and store in the freezer.
I have been known to spoil my kids with homemade breakfast on the weekends with bacon, pancakes, eggs, omelets.
But when one of my little darlings asks for pancakes on a weekday morning when we are all rushing around getting ready for school?
My answer is obviously “No way, go get yourself some cereal or breakfast bar!”.
They can have a pretty decent homemade breakfast even on those busy school mornings.
These would also be great served right away, and an easy breakfast-for-dinner idea served with some eggs.
How to Make Maple Bacon Pancake Muffins
Cut 2 tablespoons of butter into 12 pieces and drop each one in a muffin tin.
Place it in a 375 degree oven for just a minute and they are melted.
Just so I don’t have to bother spraying them or brushing with butter.
Just a little helpful hint for ya 😉
.
Cut a pound of maple bacon into bite size pieces using kitchen scissors directly into a skillet over medium heat.
Cook about 5 minutes.
Mix the pancake batter according to package directions, you’ll need 2 1/2 to 3 cups of batter.
I used one that required water only.
Mix most of the bacon into the pancake batter, leaving some to sprinkle over top.
Bake these in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Serve with butter and/or maple syrup.
If freezing these, place in a gallon size bag and reheat in the microwave for 30-40 seconds when ready to eat.
