Bakin’ With The Bacon King

Happy Mother’s Day to All Moms Including the ROYAL MOM!!!!

We know it’s a DAY early but that’s as close as we could get to this pawsome day of the year when we celebrate MOMS.     I thought this would be a perfect and yummy breakfast surprise to make the Mom in the house for Mother’s Day.   It’s got everything.   All it needs is a nice card and a bouquet of flowers to accompany it on the breakfast table when you surprise the Mom in your household with this delicious concoction!

 

 

MAPLE BACON WALNUT COFFEE CAKE (wow)

Ingredients

• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup cold butter
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1-1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping. Combine the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir into remaining flour mixture.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, syrup and applesauce until well blended. Gradually stir into flour mixture until combined.
• Spread into a 13×9 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with reserved topping, then bacon and walnuts. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Now doesn’t that sound absolutely SCRUMMY?   (I heard someone say that on a British mystery program the other day – short for scrumptious!).

Now don’t forget to give your Mom a hug tomorrow on “HER” day……..if your Mom is an Angel like my Mom’s Mom, send a hug up to her on angel wings – she knows you love her always but will appreciate the special thought on Mother’s Day of all days.
