Did not like these. The topping was weird and the muffin was too fluffy. Looked like the topping was icing. Just not for us!

Here is what I did/suggestions:__________ First, I used a box of muffin mix. The store had no plain mix so I got blueberry muffin mix and just left out the blueberries. I added cubed ham, scrambled egg, shredded cheddar to the muffin mix. I spooned mixture in paper muffin cups in the tin. Then for the topping I used half package cream cheese, 1/2 tub of "garlic cream cheese for baking", and more shredded cheese. I then put this topping mixture on top of the muffin batter in the tins.______________The freakin muffin papers were all stuck to the muffins after baking 20min@400. I will use cooking spray and no paper muffin cups next time. Also I will try making the muffin dough from scratch as suggested, cuz the blueberry muffin mix still had a blueberry flavor to it even though I didn't add blueberries. They smelled really good and tasted like garlic blueberry muffins with ham and cheese in it LOL. Also next time I will try and put the topping mixture more inside of the muffins instead of on top._______Hope that helps! Def need to trial and error these, I will update next time I make them.

THese were a win. I used turkey bacon and 1/3 fat cream cheese. They stuck to my muffin cups a little bit, next time I will grease muffin tins instead. Also, I forgot to add the sugar, and we didn't miss it!

I made this muffin gluten-free and it turned out fabulous. Instead of wheat and all purpose flour I used 2c of Bob's Red Mill all purpose gluten free flour and 1/2 t. of xanthan gum. I cut the sugar, as others have done. I only used about 2/3 of the recommended amount and next time I think I'll only use 1/8 c. I used Cavendar's Greek Seasoning for my seasoned salt - yum. I also replaced regular milk with rice milk with no ill effects. I have heard that these freeze well, I'm going to stick some in the freezer and see because if this is true, my kids are going to LOVE me because usually it's cold cereal or a granola bar on school days. This is just as quick when you are grabbing some out of the freezer so hopefully it will work! Great recipe!

I used buttermilk instead of regular milk and melted butter instead of vegetable oil. I also baked my muffins at 350 for 20 minutes. These turned out okay, though a bit on the dry side. I think the muffins need a little more "stuff" in them. Next time, I'd add more bacon as well as some chopped veggies, like red pepper, green onion and maybe some fresh garlic. It just needs a little more. My family didn't really care for them. I might try this recipe again but play with it and see if I can't get a better outcome.

Quite good, though I have to say I expected the muffins to turn out a little moister. Added an extra teaspoon of salt to the batter and it was perfect. Also, intead of just using plain oil, I used olive oil, which gave it a nice touch. Probably will make again, but I think I´ll try to make it less dry.

struck out on this one. complaints from family was the bland flavor. It needs to be sweeter, possibly add some vanilla to the mixture.

The bacon/cream cheese topping was good, but the muffin part had a very strange taste. My husband wouldn't eat it. Not one I'd make again, but an interesting idea.

these are great, but i think they would have been better if the cream cheese mixture could have been combined with the muffin mixture to better distribute the flavors. I am going to use more bacon next time too.
