Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Use whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and more fiber.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Ensures a light and fluffy texture in your muffins.
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda Helps the muffins rise perfectly.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor of the muffins.
  • 1 large egg Binds ingredients and adds richness to each bite.
  • ½ cup buttermilk Creates a moist texture; substitute with yogurt for a tangy twist.
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil Keeps the muffins tender; melted butter can make them extra special.
  • 1 cup cooked beef bacon, chopped Delivers savory goodness; turkey bacon can be a lighter option.
