tep 2: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Step 5: Make the Batter
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Step 7: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Allow the Easy Sausage Muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Cook Notes
Sausage: Use mild, spicy, or maple-flavored sausage depending on your preference.
Cheese: Cheddar works well for these muffins, but you can use other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
Mixing: Be careful not to overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined for the best texture.
Variations
1. Spicy Sausage Muffins
Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 diced jalapeño to the batter for a spicy kick.
2. Veggie Sausage Muffins
Fold in 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers or spinach for added color and nutrients.
3. Herb and Cheese Sausage Muffins
Add 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives for an herby flavor boost.
