SPAM Breakfast Muffins

1½ cups flour

2 ¼ ounces instant yeast

¼ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar

½ teaspoon salt

2/3 cup + 2 tablespoons milk

4 tablespoons butter, melted

4 large eggs, divided

12 ounces SPAM with bacon, minced and sautéed, divided

¼ cup sugar

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ cup sugar free maple syrup

Do not heat oven – muffins start baking in cold oven. Place paper liners in muffin cups (I recommend spraying pan rather than using the liners – muffins were impossible to get out of them). In a large bowl combine flour, yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, 2/3 cup milk, butter and 1 egg, mixing well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Add 8 ounces minced spam to batter, mixing well. Place a scant 2 tablespoons batter into each muffin cup. In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon, mixing fully; sprinkle about ½ teaspoon over each muffin. In a new bowl, whisk together remaining eggs and milk; add remaining spam. Add a scant 2 tablespoons egg mixture over each muffin. Drizzle with syrup before placing in cold oven; set oven to 350 degrees. Once oven heats to 350, continue to bake 15 minutes or until egg mixture sets (test with toothpick). Let cool in pan 5 minutes; serve warm. 24 muffins
