Servings: 1 - 9" x 13" pan

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb Loveless Cafe Peppered Bacon (cooked soft)
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/8 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup butter (melted)
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips

Directions

1. Place bacon on a sheet pan in a cold oven, turn oven temperature to 400°F. When bacon is partially cooked (about 8-12 minutes), remove pan from oven and let sit for a few minutes, then place bacon on a paper towel to drain. When bacon is cool, cut into small pieces and set aside.
2. Turn oven temperature to 325°F. Grease a 9” x 13” pan and set aside.
3. Mix together your flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl with a wire whisk, set aside.
4. In an electric mixer on medium speed, mix together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
5. With a spatula, slowly fold in your flour, baking powder and salt mixture, alternately with your melted butter and vanilla, trying not to over-mix.
6. Fold in chocolate chips.
7. Spread the batter into your prepared pan.
8. Take your cut-up peppered bacon and sprinkle over top of the batter.
9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
