For the Pancake Muffins:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Mix together the maple syrup and coconut sugar in a small bowl.

  • Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture 1/2 cup at a time, beating continuously, until smooth. Stir in the bacon bits until they're evenly distributed in the batter.
  • Line 12 muffin tins with a parchment baking cups and fill halfway with the muffin mixture.
  • Bake for 25 minutes at 350 F until a toothpick comes out clean.
