To free up oven space, the air fryer was used to prepare the ideal side dish for the holidays (or any time, really). To prevent the bacon from falling through the air fryer basket, be sure to slice it into large enough pieces.

Reviews
These were good. I wish they had a bit more flavour but I can tweak the recipe if I want but they were still pretty good.
Simple yet tasty. I made these as written with the exception of the additional sugar topping, I totally forgot. These muffins remind me of a traditional gingerbread cake that my mom always made for Christmas. Definitely something that I will make again. Thanks for the recipe.
