These cupcakes are perfect for breakfast or as a dessert.

The cupcakes are easy to make and can be whipped up in no time.

CONS

While these cupcakes are delicious, they are not particularly healthy.

Consuming them regularly can lead to an increase in calorie intake, which can contribute to weight gain.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Despite not being the healthiest option, the use of maple syrup does provide some health benefits.
Maple syrup contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
Bacon, on the other hand, is high in saturated fat and salt and should be consumed in moderation.
