Cheddar Bacon and Green Onion Muffins

"These muffins are fabulous eaten just baked warm out of the oven... great to serve warm with stew or soup or anything! They freeze well for up to 1 month, just warm before serving. Use a slightly heaping tablespoon of baking powder for this recipe. If you like heat add in 1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper. Prep time does not include cooking bacon."

  1. These were very good with lots of flavor and easy to prepare. I found the batter to be quite thick, so experimented with baking them for the same amount of time and temp. just on parchment paper-lined bake sheet. They worked out really well. Thanks for a great recipe.
     
  2. These are pretty good. I made a few changes to suit my mood - a blend of mexican cheese for the cheddar, no bacon, and some finely diced pickled jalapeno pepper. Based on that variation, I think some corn meal would have been good in place of some flour. I think that if I had used the bacon, it would have helped balance the muffin a little more.
     
  3. These were good, I thought they had a distinct baking powder flavor when cold. Definately eat these warm!
     
  4. Very Good. Loved the bacon and cheese on top. Good warmed up the next day.
     
  5. Tasty muffins that went well, warm-from-the-oven, with our broccoli soup! They were also quick & easy to prepare - great for a weeknite meal or one of those days when you just don't feel like bothering. Thanx Carol!
