    Maple-Bacon Cornbread Muffins - These muffins are great for dunking in your chili.

    Freshly baked cornbread muffins with a hint of maple and crispy bacon sprinkled on top. The perfect muffin for dunking in some chili!

    I have to admit that I don’t often cook with cornmeal but when I do I will make these muffins. They are good with a big pot of chili on a cool Fall day. The maple syrup gives them a little sweetness and there’s crispy bacon on top of them. 

    If you’re looking for some good chili recipes to serve with these cornbread muffins try my Beef and Chorizo Chili recipe, Crock Pot Turkey Chili, or Ree Drummond’s Perfect Chili is another one of my favorites. Check out the other recipe section below for the links.

    Or you can always just eat these muffins as they are with some soft butter. 

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Corn Meal  - Use a good cornmeal brand like Bob's Red Mill

    Flour   -  simple all purpose flour 

    Maple Syrup - only use pure maple syrup 

    Baking Powder - to help the muffins rise 

    Eggs - large pasteurized eggs 

    Milk - either whole or 2% milk 

    Yogurt - preferably use Greek Yogurt. If you want to make a lower calorie version use non-fat. 

    Vegetable Oil - can sub applesauce if you don’t want all the fat 

     How to make Maple Bacon Corn Bread Muffins 

    To print the full recipe please see the recipe card below. 

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line fifteen 2 ½-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups. Coat bake cups with cooking spray; set pans aside.

    In a medium bowl stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. In a small bowl combine eggs, milk, yogurt, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to cornmeal mixture. Stir just until moistened. Add in 8 slices of cooked bacon.

    Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Cool in muffin cups on wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm. Garnish with maple syrup and leftover two slices of crisp bacon.

      I would think the syrup is the sugar

      I am slightly confused on this recipe. The ingredients do not list sugar but in step 2 it says to stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
