This maple glazed bacon is the perfect balance of sweet and savory with a little hint of citrus. It tastes like a pancake breakfast all in one bite of deliciousness! I always try to find new ways to jazz up old-classics around the holidays to make regular meals feel a little bit more special.
As if bacon wasn’t already great enough on its own, you would be amazed how adding a touch of sweetness and zestiness really creates a whole new dish! Serve this bacon alongside my Paleo Cinnamon Rolls for a special and sweet holidays breakfast treat.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Place a cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Lay the pieces of bacon side by side on the rack and bake for 15 – 18 minutes, or until the fat as rendered and the bacon is brown and crispy.
