Preparation Time:
| Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 20–25 minutes | Total Time: 35–40 minutes |
Cooking Tips:
🥑 Use Ripe, But Firm Avocados
Overripe avocados can get mushy and disappear into the batter.
Go for ones that are just soft enough to cube without falling apart.
🥓 Crisp the Bacon Well
Cook the bacon until it’s golden and crispy.
This adds texture and prevents soggy spots in the muffins.
🧀 Don’t Overmix the Batter
Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Overmixing can make the muffins dense instead of fluffy.
🌡️ Let Them Cool Slightly
Let muffins rest in the pan for 5–10 minutes after baking.
This helps them set and makes removal easier without crumbling.
🧁 Use Muffin Liners or Grease Well
To avoid sticking, line your tin or grease it generously.
Especially helpful since the avocado and cheese add moisture.
EQUIPMENT:
| Mixing Bowls | Whisk or Spoon | Measuring Cups and Spoons |

INGREDIENTS:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

5–6 slices cooked bacon,
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

INGREDIENT NOTES :
🥑 Avocado
Use ripe but firm avocado for easy dicing.
Too soft and it’ll mash into the batter.
🥓 Bacon
Crispy bacon adds the best texture and flavor.
Drain on paper towels to avoid excess grease.
🧀 Cheese
Cheddar gives a nice sharp bite and melts well.
You can swap with Monterey Jack or feta.
🧂 Flour
All-purpose flour works perfectly for these.
Want extra fluff? Try half AP and half whole wheat.

Regular milk keeps it classic and moist.
Buttermilk adds a tangy, tender twist.
🌿 Chives or Green Onions
Optional, but they add a fresh pop of flavor.
Great contrast to the rich avocado and bacon.
