Ingredients

For the Maple Bacon

For the Muffins

  • 4 eggs large
  • ½ c plus 1 T milk of choice regular or dairy free
  • 1 T brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1-2 T maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6-7 pieces bread I used wide pan bread, if pieces are smaller, you will want to use 7, possibly 8

Instructions

  • Line bacon on a foil lined baking sheet. Whisk together maple and brown sugar together. Spread onto each strip of bacon to coat. Place in oven (do not preheat!) and set to 350°F. Bake for about 20 minutes or until bacon is cooked through and starting to become crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool several minutes before chopping into small pieces.
  • Once bacon is ready, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, maple, and brown sugar.
  • Cut bread into about 1 - 1 ½ in. pieces.
  • Add bread into egg mixture and stir to allow bread to soak up all the liquid. Fold in chopped bacon.
  • Spoon bread and egg mixture into greased or lined muffin tins, pressing the mixture gently down to keep any air bubbles or space from being made between bread pieces.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until top is golden brown.
  • Cool for several minutes before serving. Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Notes

  • The biggest thing you want to know is to press the bread pieces into the muffin tin well so that they will form and hold together. I also press and form to muffin tops so they somewhat resemble a muffin!
  • While you can technically eat these with your hands and on the go, I highly suggest you pop these on plates and add an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
  • If you find that not all of the bread is fully soaked in the egg mixture, you can add a splash of milk to help moisten any extra pieces of bread.
  • Feel free to use gluten free bread and also dairy free milk to make dietary adjustments to your need.
