Smoky Savory Muffins

Consider these for your Thursday feast:
(makes 1 dozen)

2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 T. baking soda
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. freshly ground pepper
1/4 t. sea* salt
2 eggs
1&1/3 cups buttermilk (or make your own with milk and lemon juice*)
3 T. EVOO
2 T. butter, melted
1 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 1 bunch)
3/4 cup diced Canadian bacon (3 oz.)
1/2 cup grated sharp* cheddar
1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400. Coat a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, S&P in a large bowl. Whisk eggs, buttermilk, oil and butter in a med. bowl. Fold in scallions, bacon, cheese and bell pepper. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until just moistened. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan (the cups will be very full). Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown, 20-25 mins. Let cool in the pan for 5 mins. Loosen the edges and turn out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving with soft* butter.
