Instructions

2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped bacon until evenly distributed.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
