Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp freshly ground pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1⅓ cups buttermilk
- 3 Tbsp J.Olive Co. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1 cup thinly sliced scallions, (about 1 bunch)
- ¾ cup diced Canadian bacon, (3 ounces)
- ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, pepper and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk eggs, buttermilk, oil and butter in a medium bowl. Fold in scallions, bacon, cheese and bell pepper. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until just moistened. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan (the cups will be very full).
- Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges and turn the muffins out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
