This is what happens when you’re a guy that likes to bake coffee cakes and a friend tweets a freakin’ Bacon S’more.

You get inspired and then your pick up some bacon on the way home from work, bake it in the oven and then dump it into a coffee cake. Then you wonder why you never thought of this before. It’s sweet, it’s savory. It’s not overpowering. It looks appetizing and not like a greasy pile of cake. It’s pretty good stuff!
Maple Bacon Coffee Cake with Maple Bacon Streusel Topping
The base recipe for this coffee cake is Bill’s Killer Coffee Cake, which you can find here on the site.
The small mountain of maple bacon chopped up into small pieces.
About half of the bacon pieces are mixed in with some streusel topping awesomeness
Whoa, back up, is that maple bacon in the coffee cake batter? Why yes, yes it is.
I mixed in the other half of the maple bacon pieces into the batter. Yum!
Sweet, salty and smokey – Maple Bacon Streusel Topping
The finished product – Maple Bacon Coffee Cake with Maple Bacon Streusel Topping
This one needs to be stored in the refrigerator when done and should be heated up when eating it. It’s fantastic warm. It’s it time for breakfast yet?
That looks amazing! Well done!
Not gonna lie, it’s tasty. Might look into some maple extract to tweet it a bit and maybe a bit more bacon, idk. I don’t want to overpower everything.
