Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees F)

Pre-head a medium-large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add you EXTRA vegetable oil (about ½ a tablespoon) and then add your chopped bacon.
-
Fry the bacon for 3-5 minutes and stir every minute or 2, until the bacon is nice and crispy. Then, transfer the bacon onto kitchen paper to drain.

Fill each hole of a 12 cup muffin tin with paper muffin cases. Then spray the inside of each muffin case with cooking spray.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and then whisk until you have a well combined and lump free batter.

Fill each muffin case a bit more than half way up with your muffin batter. Then bake the muffins in your pre-heated oven for 30 minutes.

Once the muffins are cooked, let them cool and then store them away for breakfast.
Recipe Notes
- Pan fry the bacon until it's nice and crispy before you add it to your muffin batter. And make sure you drain the bacon after frying it.
- The coconut flour is very dry and not very dense. So you need plenty of eggs and other wet ingredients to make sure the muffins don't dry up and crumble whilst being baked.
- Chopped and pan fried mushrooms, chopped and pan fried tofu (that is relatively firm) and chopped sun dried tomatoes (that has been drained on baking paper) are fantastic vegetarian substitutes for bacon.
- These muffins should last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
- You can freeze these muffins if you wish. And you can re-heat them in the microwave or the oven.
- I recommend storing the muffins in an air tight container.
