Instructions

Bring on the Bacon
1

a) Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Pop 8 muffin cases into your muffin tray.

b) Roughly chop the pecans.

c) Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bacon lardons. Stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.

d) Once cooked, add the pecans and half the maple syrup to the pan, then stir until sticky and coated, 1-2 mins.

Mix it Up
2

a) Transfer the maple bacon to a small bowl and set aside for now.

b) In a large bowl, combine the oats, cake mix and two thirds of the bacon mixture.

c) In a medium bowl, combine the Greek style yoghurt and peanut butter with the eggs, water and vegetable oil (see pantry for all three amounts). Once combined, add to the bowl of cake mix and gently stir until fully combined, 2-3 mins.

d) Divide the muffin mixture between your muffin cases.

Bake and Serve
3

a) Pop the tray onto the middle shelf of your oven until the muffins are risen and golden, 28-30 mins, or until a rounded knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. TIP: A few crumbs are okay. 

b) When the muffins have 10 mins remaining in the oven, rotate the tray to give the muffins a nice, even colour.

c) Once baked, allow the muffins to cool slightly, then drizzle over the remaining maple syrup and sprinkle over the reserved maple bacon to finish.

Enjoy!
