Ingredients

  • 12 ounce bacon
  • 2 containers Pillsbury refrigerated crescent roll

Streusel Mixture

Maple Drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375º. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with cooking spray.

Bacon

  • Slice bacon into 1 inch pieces and cook until browned; set aside to drain.

Streusel Mixture

  • In a medium sized bowl add butter, cinnamon, flour and brown sugar. Cut the cold butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or the back of two forks.

Crescent Dough

  • On a floured surface lay out the first sheet of crescent roll dough.
  • Pinch to pleat the perforations in the dough and roll flat with a floured rolling pin.
  • Cut off the uneven edges leaving a rectangle.
  • Cut 1 inch strips horizontally through the dough sheet, and then in half vertically.
  • On the first strip of dough, sprinkle with streusel.
  • Top with crumbles of bacon and another sprinkle of streusel.
  • Place your next strip of dough over the top, and press down gently.
  • In a twisting motion, twist the two pieces of dough together and overlap the dough on itself creating the muffin shape.
  • Repeat the process with remaining dough.
  • Bake at 375º for 13 minutes.

Maple Drizzle

  • While the muffins are baking, in a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, syrup, vanilla, and milk to thin consistency.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
  • Once cooled, drizzle with maple icing.

Notes

Tips
  • Use thick-cut bacon for extra texture.
  • Don’t overfill with streusel so the dough seals properly.
  • Twist tightly to help them hold their shape while baking.
  • Let cool slightly before drizzling so the icing sets beautifully.
