- 10 strips cooked Applewood bacon, set 2 aside - crumble remaining 8 pieces. (Substitute turkey bacon or smoky maple bacon tempeh for kosher & vegan options)

- Pour wet ingredient mixture over dry ingredient mixture, and stir with large wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in bacon crumbles.
- Fill muffin cups 2/3 way full with batter, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Break remaining 2 pieces of bacon into small bite sized pieces and stick into the top, center of the muffin.
- Let cool while you prepare the glaze.
