Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Doesn't really matter WHEN you eat these, because they are delicious all day long, but we love our bacon and corn breakfast muffins for an easy, quick breakfast solution when we are in a hurry! What I love about this recipe, is that you can easily keep them in the freezer and just grab them out and microwave them whenever you need them! Takes about 2 minutes to defrost! So hence why we find them perfect for our breakfast!
I think muffins usually get a bad wrap when it comes to eating healthy. Usually muffins are full of sugar, but our bacon and corn breakfast muffins are refined sugar-free, and contain healthier substitutes, like wholemeal flour instead of white plain flour. Personally, muffins are not my go-to snack, I tend to prefer savoury muffins over sweet muffins, I'm more of a cupcake kind of person! Which is weird, because technically I guess you can say that muffins and cupcakes are the same thing? Expect that cupcakes look much prettier and have icing, which is probably my favourite part of a cupcake! We are planning on making over 100 cupcakes for our wedding next year...but more on that later!
So despite the fact that I just went off on a tangent about the difference between cupcakes and muffins, and that had probably absolutely no relevance to this recipe what so ever... make sure you try our easy, bacon and corn breakfast muffins! If you are vegetarian, simply leave out the bacon! You won't regret trying these and if you're always on the go in the morning, then this is the recipe for you! This recipe makes around 9 muffins, which should last 3 days for two people if you both eat 1 each a day! To serve, I simply defrost the muffins in the microwave, then spread with a little butter.
