Savory cornmeal muffins for the perfect grab and go meal! Top these Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins with maple syrup for a delicious meal!
You know how after a big meal you slip into your food coma, moaning and groaning about how you will never eat again?
Yeah, it happens, especially after holiday meals like Thanksgiving, but in reality one large meal isn’t going to sustain you for long.
After you sleep it off, you’ll forget about how uncomfortable your waistline felt, and ummm, you’ll be hungry again!! Good thing foodies like you and me don’t take those moments too seriously!
It’s time for round two 🙂
Bacon Egg Muffins
These scrumptious muffins have bacon and scrambled eggs buried through Jiffy corn muffin mix.
Make these flavorful little breakfast bundles so they are ready to grab and go at your convenience!
You’ll appreciate having a portable meal as the weeks get busier with holiday activities like SHOPPING 🙂
These muffins would also compliment a brunch menu or a special breakfast meal like Christmas morning!
If you opt to serve these for brunch, serve them with maple syrup. Drizzle a little syrup next to the muffin, and dip each forkful into the sweetness.
The sweet/salt combination is heavenly. Simply delectable, and I’m certain you’ll end up with two muffins on your plate 🙂

This is a great idea. Bite sized & portion control. Of course, they’ll be delicious!
Michaela Kenkel
I am going to make these for Saturday morning! We are off bright and early to deliver food. Perfect grab and go breakfast! Thanks!
NANCY SILBAUGH
Could you make the eggs like scrambled eggs and drop them into the mix. I am making for 60 people and think the skillet egg idea may be a bit too time consuming. If I could mix them around I could cook them faster and save all the separating later.
Have you tried this?
Sandra Shaffer
Nancy, I haven’t tried that way before, but I believe it will be ok. The eggs will be double cooked though. Let me know if you try it how they come out!
Karen
this looks delicious! how many muffins does the recipe yield?
Sandra Shaffer
I got 12! So simple and tasty. Hope you enjoy!
jamie

Sandra Shaffer
Hi Jamie! The weight is 8.5 ounces. Here is an image of Jiffy the brand I use.

Tracey
Ugh see Ssndra I KNEW I submitted that more then once daughter called me a dork and said to thank you! LOL. Thanks for the extract ides! There was barely a hint of syrup flavor with only a 1/4 cup so the extract is probably be the way to go! Thanks again!
Tracey
I was searching for a jiffy corn bread breakfast muffin and yours popped up with *5 Stars! I like. :).
Wondering if you could put a some maple syrup right in the mix? If so what’s your opinion on how much. For me this
would be the best of both worlds grab and go with the maple taste already baked in! ?
Well it worked! I used 3/4 cup milk and a 1:4?cup maple syrup. After they were done my daughter (14) and I agreededv1/2 cup mik 1/2 cup syrup I also doubled bacon and cheese who doesn’t like more of those things! ;)).
Thank you for the inspiration great recipe! Daughter has asked for larger muffins to freeze so she can grab em and go before school in the morning! Thanks again!
PS- Not being very tech savvy I may have submitted this more then twice maybe ? sorry! Could you kindly fix if I did so I don’t look like like a complete idiot LOL

Hi Tracey! You could definitely add some maple syrup in the batter or even maple extract! I haven’t tried it, but I would try 2-3 tablespoons of the syrup and 1/4 teaspoon of the extract.
Darcy
Wow these are so tasty! I bring baked goods over to my in-laws who are older and don’t cook as much anymore a few times a week and these were a hit! The dab of syrup is spot on too.
Sandra Shaffer
I’m glad these breakfast muffins were enjoyed by all! The go fast when I make them 🙂
Amanda
I make these all of the time! My boyfriend loves them and so does anyone that I’ve given them to. I just add a little more bacon and cheese! 🙂
Sandra Shaffer
Aren’t these breakfast muffins soooo tasty! The more goodies the better, especially when it comes to bacon and cheese 🙂 Thanks, for stopping by Amanda!
Stephanie Pass
I love this idea. It’s something quick and easy I can whip on a Sunday night and have breakfast for my kids and husband before school and work each morning, instead of just cold cereal or frozen waffles.
Sandra Shaffer
YES…that’s exactly why I like these. Grab and goooo with egg and bacon in hand!
Brenda Ramage
Can these be frozen then reheated?
Sandra
I haves tried it, but I don’t see why not!
Debbie
Hi what can we substitute for the corn muffin mix here in the UK please?
Sandra
Good question! I’m not sure if there is alternative to buy it pre-packaged, but you can use the dry ingredients from a corn muffin recipe like this one -https://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/16755/basic-corn-muffins Let me know how it works out for you!
