Bacon and Cheddar Muffins

These Bacon and Cheddar Muffins are great for breakfast or with soup and salad.  The texture of the muffin is really light and crumbly just like a sweet breakfast muffin. I think it is fun to make them into mini-loaves like this, although you can of course just make the regular shaped ones.  These are a version of a recipe from FoodGawker – a great compilation recipe site that sources from 1000s of blogs – from the blog Shop.Cook.Make.  Try them this weekend they are super easy to make!
