Ingredients
1/2 lb. bacon
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp maple syrup (divided)
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs
2/3 c. sour cream
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Step 2Place a wire rack inside of a large rimmed baking pan. Spread bacon strips in a single layer on top of the rack. Brush with about 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the bacon is crispy, flipping the bacon halfway through. Let cool slightly, then chop the bacon finely. Step 3Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl until the batter is smooth. Stir in most of the chopped bacon. Divide batter between muffin tin cups. Sprinkle with remaining bacon bits. Bake for 15 minutes, until the muffins are golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly. Step 4Serve with butter and more maple syrup, if desired.
