Ingredients:
2 large eggs
2⁄3 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
1⁄4 cup heavy cream
1⁄4 cup sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2 pound sliced bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled (about 1 cup)
4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) unsalted butter, softened

Method:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-count muffin pan with paper liners.

Add the eggs, 2⁄3 cup of the maple syrup, the vegetable oil, heavy cream, and sour cream to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Add the bacon and stir to combine.

Fill the muffin cups 3⁄4 full with batter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
