I cannot wait to experience this taste! So easy to make. It takes 10 minutes of active time and the remaining is just waiting for the muffins to be ready.


Makes 6 regular sized muffins


100g            Bacon bits / Bacon strips cuts into small cubes


Dry Ingredient

150g            Plain Flour, sifted

1/2 Tblsp     Baking Powder

1/4 Tsp        Salt

40g              Fine Sugar

40g              Blue cheese, crumpled into the flour mixture

20g              Roasted Walnut (Optional)

90ml             Milk

2 Tblsp         Water

3  Tblsp         Oil / Bacon Fat
