• For the muffins: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
• Add the bacon to a medium skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Pour the bacon and fat into a bowl and let cool slightly.
• Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk, oil and egg to the bowl with the bacon and whisk together. Stir the milk mixture into the dry mixture and pour the combined batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling just to the top of the cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the orange butter: While the muffins are cooking, combine the butter, agave and zest in a medium bowl with a pinch of salt and stir until completely combined.
• Serve the muffins with fresh orange butter.

• In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon, over medium heat until crisp and brown. Transfer the bacon to paper towels; drain and cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and eggs. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor. Drop in the cold butter cubes. Using on/off turns, blend until the butter is cut in finely and the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pour the dry ingredients over the buttermilk mixture. Scatter the bacon and green onions over the batter. Using a thin, flexible spatula, fold the batter together, scraping up the liquids from the bottom each time and turning the bowl as you fold. Do not over-fold; some dry patches are fine. Using a rounded 1/3 cup of batter for each muffin, fill the paper liners.
• Bake until puffed and browning at edges, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the muffins stand 5 to 10 minutes. Twist each muffin in place to loosen the edges from the pan. Lift the muffins out onto a rack and cool.
