Equipment

1 muffin tin
2 mixing bowls

Ingredients

3 tbsp neutral oil vegetable, canola, corn oil
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
3/4 cup bacon cooked, chopped
2 eggs
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup chives chopped
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375. °F
Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until lightly crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces then set aside until ready to use.
Melt the butter and set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Add the cooled melted butter, oil, chives, bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese.
Mix until well combined and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder and salt.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just incorporated. Be careful not to over mix; a few small lumps are fine.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving.
