Description

Sausage Breakfast Muffins are crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside, combining savory breakfast sausage and melted cheddar cheese in every bite. These muffins make a perfect grab-and-go breakfast or snack, baked to golden perfection with a tender crumb.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Muffins:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasonings.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating the liquid base for the batter.
  4. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Sausage and Cheese: Gently fold in the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage along with the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  8. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them firm up and prevents sogginess.

Notes

  • Use cooked sausage to avoid excess grease in the batter and to ensure safety.
  • You can substitute milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor and fluffier texture.
  • Cheddar cheese can be replaced with your favorite cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat muffins in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
