I got the idea for this recipe from a Taste of Home recipe, however, their version uses a baking mix. There are MSPI-friendly baking mixes available, such as Bisquick, but I personally prefer to make my biscuits and pancakes from scratch. So I don't keep baking mix on hand. Plus, I realize not all of you are able to use baking mix because of the soy oil/lecithin or milk cross-contamination. So I came up with this from-scratch version of the recipe that all of you can enjoy!
These muffins are great for breakfast or as a lunch or light dinner when served with a salad.
Bacon Muffins
Source: MSPI Mama
6 slices bacon, diced
1/2 cup (or less depending on bacon grease) canola oil
2½ cups flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
3 tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. salt
1 egg
¾ cup + 1 tbsp. rice milk
Cook bacon according to package directions in a skillet; drain, reserving bacon drippings in a measuring cup. Add enough canola oil to fill the measuring cup to the ½-cup line. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a small bowl, combine the egg, rice milk and the bacon drippings/oil mixture. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in bacon.
Fill 12 greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Serve warm.

Yum, Andrea!! They sound wonderful!!
These look good!!
Just had these for my first meal back on MSPI after 1 year! And did not disappoint, I always felt deprived for breakfast last time. For my taste, I'd put a little less sugar, but maybe it's because I used reduced sodium bacon. Awesome!
