Cheesy & Fluffy Potato Bacon Muffins<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ingredients<\/strong> Makes 12 muffins<\/h3>\n

For the Muffin Base:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 medium potatoes (about 300g), peeled and grated<\/li>\n
  • 4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp baking soda<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp salt<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 tsp black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For the Cheese & Egg Mixture:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 2 large eggs<\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 cup (120ml) milk<\/li>\n
    • 1\/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil or melted butter<\/li>\n
    • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)<\/li>\n
    • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional, for flavor)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Preheat the Oven<\/strong>
        \nPreheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with oil.<\/li>\n
      2. Prepare the Potatoes<\/strong>
        \nPeel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps the muffins stay fluffy instead of soggy.<\/li>\n
      3. Cook the Bacon<\/strong>
        \nChop the bacon and cook it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and let it drain on a paper towel.<\/li>\n
      4. Mix Dry Ingredients<\/strong>
        \nIn a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the leavening agents.<\/li>\n
      5. Mix Wet Ingredients<\/strong>
        \nIn another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil (or melted butter). Stir in the shredded cheese and chopped chives or parsley if using.<\/li>\n
      6. Combine Everything<\/strong>
        \nAdd the grated potatoes and cooked bacon to the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture over it and gently fold everything together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.<\/li>\n
      7. Fill Muffin Cups<\/strong>
        \nSpoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3\/4 full.<\/li>\n
      8. Bake<\/strong>
        \nBake for 25\u201330 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/li>\n
      9. Cool & Serve<\/strong>
        \nAllow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm as a breakfast, brunch, or snack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Tips for Extra Fluffiness<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the potatoes.<\/li>\n
        • Use room-temperature eggs and milk for better mixing.<\/li>\n
        • Avoid overmixing the batter; this keeps muffins light.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
