Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and maple syrup until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Fold in the crumbled crispy bacon until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the muffin batter among the greased muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Cool the muffins in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
