2379. BACON FLAX MUFFINS

makes six muffins


cooking spray
3 oz. or 3/4 cup finely ground flax seed
3/4 teaspoon double acting baking powder
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
3 eggs
1 tablespoon bacon grease, warmed enough to liquid
6 drops Stevia sweetener (optional)
3 tablespoons water
3 thick slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped finely

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin top pan (6 muffin size) with cooking spray, or grease manually with butter, olive oil or coconut oil. Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, Stevia and water. As you continue to beat, drizzle in the liquid bacon grease. Stir in chopped bacon. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Divide the batter evenly in the muffin pan and let rest for 2 minutes before baking. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container.
