Breakfast: Bacon & Swiss Morning Muffins

adapted from a George Stella recipe (but since I made 5 substitutions, I can call the recipe my own):

1-½ C Carbquik
(if unavailable, you may substitute soy flour + baking powder)
¾ C cooked minced bacon bits
¼ C shredded Jarlsberg
3 eggs
2 C half-n-half
⅓ C Xylitol
2 TBS Oat Bran + 2 TBS Carbquik
oil or melted butter

Grease muffin tins. Dust with mixture of Mix oat bran/Carbquik mixture.

Whisk eggs then add liquid and mix well. Add remaining ingredients and mix together. Spoon into muffin tins.

Bake at 375º for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown/ toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool at least 5 minutes before consuming. (Stella recommends adding a pat of butter or cream cheese. I think they're fine just as they are.)

These were pretty tasty.

I just read George Stella's book and his muffins were the first thing I tried. I really like this adaptation. Personally, I used the soy flour and substituted flax meal for the oat bran with an excellent taste and texture. I'll make this again for sure!
