Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup melted plant-based butter

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup smoked turkey bacon, chopped and crisped
  • 1/3 cup diced pimiento peppers
  • 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Smoked Turkey Bacon and Pimientos: Chop the smoked turkey bacon into small pieces and lightly crisp them in a pan over medium heat. Drain excess fat and set aside. Dice the pimiento peppers finely to release their flavor while keeping a pleasant texture in the muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar (natural) to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and melted plant-based butter until smooth.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and gently fold until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender. Then fold in the crisp smoked turkey bacon, diced pimientos, and shredded plant-based cheese.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into a greased muffin tin. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm to enjoy the melted cheese and smoky bacon flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use fresh pimientos for vibrant color and better texture than canned.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough muffins.
  • Use room temperature eggs and plant-based milk for more even blending.
  • Customize the plant-based cheese to your flavor preference.
  • Cook smoked turkey bacon a day ahead to save time during preparation.
