I received this jar of Whiskey Maple Syrup as a gift.  We opened it and used it a few times when making cocktails and to drizzle onto my Waffle Battered Fried Chicken.  While cleaning out the refrigerator I came across the remaining syrup and also a package of precooked bacon with a few slices left. 

Inspiration struck and I decided to add these ingredients to a simple muffin recipe.  I didn't add any sugar other than the syrup to the muffins so I decided to add a bit more sweetness with a brown sugar crumble on top.

This is just your Basic Muffin recipe but I deleted the granulated sugar and cut down on the amount of milk and oil to compensate for the liquid in the syrup.  Then I added some crumble because muffins and crumble are a match made in heaven.
