One of my goals this new year is to make my mornings run more smoothly. I was looking for breakfast foods I could precook and heat up in the morning and saw several people suggesting making breakfast muffins. My son is a bacon freak so I came up with this Bacon Cornbread Muffin recipe and my family just loves them! I used organic maple syrup instead of sugar to add sweetness to the cornbread. By using organic maple syrup you will get vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, what a great way to start your day! You could also use organic honey instead but I prefer the bacon and maple syrup combination.
For this recipe I use Pamela’s Gluten Free Cornbread & Muffin Mix
- 1 bag gluten free cornbread mix (I used Pamela's Cornbread & Muffin Mix 12oz bag)
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 8 TBSP butter (1 stick) or butter substitute, melted
- 2 eggs, large
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 6-8 pieces of cooked and crumbled bacon
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Cook and crumble 6-8 pieces of bacon.
- Melt butter.
- In medium bowl, combine cornbread mix, syrup, melted better, eggs and water.
- Mix shredded cheese and crumbled bacon into the batter.
- Pour batter into muffin tin or cupcake liner and fill to top.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
I hope you enjoy these muffins as much as my family is! Keep a look out for more gluten free breakfast muffin recipes soon.

I am a southern girl, so you had me at bacon and corn bread. Sounds simply heavenly for this southern girl. I can’t wait to make these.
These look delicious! I will have to make these for my next mommy and baby brunch, they would get gobbled up!
I have to stop looking at recipes! I am getting fat just looking at these – LOL I know I could eat a lot of them in one sitting (and in the near future, I will! Thanks!
This looks delicious! It’s nice to have recipes that my husband will eat and that I can serve to guests with special diet needs. Win-Win!
I love sweet cornbread so this is the perfect recipe. I would love to try this because of the pork added.
Oh I’ve got to try these! Anything with bacon I’m there 😉
YUM! I have a recipe almost exactly like this I’m working on with Krusteaz GF cornbread mix – but instead of bacon, we’re using hot dogs. I know, gross, but I try to buy the organic, nitrate free ones. LOL. The kids love them! Thanks for linking up!
Jo-Lynne I was just thinking about finding a recipe with hot dogs for the kids because they loved this one so much. We also buy organic, nitrate hot dogs! I will have to check yours out!
That’s a good idea to make the muffins ahead of time to speed up the morning routine.
These would be wonderful with chili or stew. Love easy recipes, thank you for this one. I love cheesy bacon corn bread!
This recipe looked so good, because of the bacon. I am going to make it this coming weekend. I thank you for the share.
These look like they would be perfect for a summer BBQ.
These are the cutest cornbread muffins ever! Love that you put bacon in them!
