This homemade Maple Bacon is about to up your breakfast game! Made with just 3 simple ingredients and baked in the oven, candied maple bacon is a serious game changer. It’s made with thick cut bacon, giving you tons of flavor. I love serving it with a stack of pancakes or waffles for a lil salty sweet vibe, or it’s amazing with eggs!
