4 stars for flavor! It's more like a biscuit in texture. I was hoping for more of a moist cake type of texture and a bit more sweetness.

I LOVE the idea and I got a lot of points with my BF for a manly muffin. However, I would add more apple (can barely taste it) and a tad more cheese. They were a bit dry also, perhaps I made them too big though. Thank you!

This was a very nice muffin. We loved the flavor the bacon gave to them. They were quick and easy ro make. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Really tasty! I used a giant-sized muffin tin and the recipe made six of those--froze them for weekday breakfasts. Thanks!
