One of my goals this new year is to make my mornings run more smoothly. I was looking for breakfast foods I could precook and heat up in the morning and saw several people suggesting making breakfast muffins. My son is a bacon freak so I came up with this Bacon Cornbread Muffin recipe and my family just loves them! I used organic maple syrup instead of sugar to add sweetness to the cornbread. By using organic maple syrup you will get vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, what a great way to start your day! You could also use organic honey instead but I prefer the bacon and maple syrup combination.
For this recipe I use Pamela’s Gluten Free Cornbread & Muffin Mix, 12 Ounce Bag and pour my batter into a mini cupcake pan. One bag makes 48 mini cornbread muffins! I make them on Sunday and put in the refrigerator, but they can be frozen too if you do not plan to eat them within 2-3 days.

YUM! I have a recipe almost exactly like this I’m working on with Krusteaz GF cornbread mix – but instead of bacon, we’re using hot dogs. I know, gross, but I try to buy the organic, nitrate free ones. LOL. The kids love them! Thanks for linking up!

Jo-Lynne I was just thinking about finding a recipe with hot dogs for the kids because they loved this one so much. We also buy organic, nitrate hot dogs! I will have to check yours out!
