Tips

-If you want even more bacon flavor in your muffins, cook and crumble two more strips and fold the extra bacon into the batter along with the scrambled eggs.
-Make these muffins into mini muffins that are perfect to pop into your mouth. This same recipe will make 24 mini muffins and the only change needed is to reduce the baking time to about 8-10 minutes.
-If you have left over muffins, remember to store them in the fridge as they contain a good deal of scrambled eggs and also bacon, both which shouldn't be left out at room temperature.
