Sweet and savory come together for a delicious muffin that can be breakfast or a side at dinner! Maple Bacon Corn Muffins are sweetened with maple syrup and have pieces of bacon baked right in.

Muffin Week continues today! This week I’ve teamed up with some blogging friends to share muffin recipes to help get you ready for back to school. Monday I shared some tasty No Sugar Added Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins and today I’m back with these Maple Bacon Corn Muffins.

These muffins are like a sweet cornbread. The base is made from cornmeal and sweetened with maple syrup. I even mixed in bacon pieces to give extra flavor and texture.

Just like your favorite big breakfast, but in muffin form! And much easier than making a big breakfast. You can make these at the beginning of the week and grab them on your way out the door each morning.

They don’t just have to be for breakfast, either! I served these warmed up with my Beef, Tomato and Macaroni Soup one night and it was a tasty combination.

I definitely recommend warming these up by popping them in the microwave or the toaster oven if you’ve got the time. They taste so good warm with a little bit of butter!

Be sure to check out all of the tasty muffin recipes my friends and I shared for Muffin Week here.
