Variations for these muffins

This recipe is very flexible. You can customize it based on your preferences, or try a new ingredient combination with every batch!

Instead of turkey bacon, you could use chicken or turkey sausage. Canadian bacon would be delicious too! If you don’t mind some extra fat, pork bacon is always a tasty choice.

You can also use any type of peppers you like. I chose banana peppers because I had some on hand, but whatever pepper you use will add great flavor.

I personally don’t like mushrooms, but if you do, feel free to throw some in the mix! You can’t go wrong adding more veggies to these muffins.
