Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 20 muffin cups.

  2. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, oil, maple flavoring, and vanilla extract. Stir in crumbled bacon.

  3. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full of batter.

Cook's Note:

I used a standard buttercream frosting recipe, added maple flavoring, and then topped with chunks of crispy bacon.
