About Recipe
A maple muffin speckled with bacon bits and topped with a brown sugar-bacon streusel. In my rational mind, there has never been a bad bacon and maple combination. These were what I had hoped they would be, not too sweet, but sweet enough with a little salty bite from the bacon. Making my mouth water remembering them.
