BLT Muffins

My photo is definitely not as pretty as the original recipe I was following. Theirs had nice little pieces of bacon sticking out of their muffins, making them look all interesting. Well, too bad. Mine is real. :-)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 3/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon (about 12 strips)
• 1/2 cup chopped seeded plum tomatoes
• 2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
• shredded lettuce, optional 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a small bowl, whisk milk and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in bacon, tomatoes, and parsley.

Fill 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. If desired, top with lettuce.
