Nothing like the smell of freshly baked Bacon Cheddar Muffins on Christmas Morning! 

Christmas Morning Bacon Cheddar Muffins-1

Bacon Cheddar Muffins

I love waking up early on Christmas morning and tip-toeing downstairs to get started on making these delicious muffins. With the ingredients prepped the night before (more on that further down in the post), I first sit and have my latte by the tree. Then I fire up the oven so these beauties are baking just as the rest of the house starts to stir. The aroma of bacon and something freshly baked fills the house. There’s nothing quite like it.

My mom used to do the exact same thing for us when we were kids. That’s where I got this amazing recipe from (thanks, mom)!

I hope you enjoy it!

Prep Ahead Tips

No one wants to be stuck in the kitchen for too long on Christmas morning. A good time-saver is to fry bacon, grate cheese and prepare dry ingredients on Christmas Eve and store separately in Ziplocs or containers in the fridge. Throw everything together and pop in the oven just before the house wakes up. The smell of delicious muffins as your family comes down to the tree is truly amazing.

We love this new and improved all-terrain stroller. We're out for walks a few times a day - with the dogs, school runs, shopping, etc. This one fits the bill for all of it!

- so easy to maneuver. It's seriously the smoothest ride ever. 
- 4-wheel spring suspension and large puncture-proof wheels let you glide over bumps and tight turns without disturbing babe.
- customizable colours 
- the bassinet has a great ventilation system to help babe regulate their natural body temperature.
