1 egg
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with paper liners.
2.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed and set aside.
3.
In another bowl, combine milk, maple syrup, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Fold in the crumbled cooked bacon and mix lightly into the batter ensuring even distribution throughout.
6.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
7.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
