Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) breakfast sausage, casings removed
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (100g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup (40g) green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or sage)
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and cool slightly.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Step 4: In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the milk and vegetable oil until combined.
- Step 5: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a rubber spatula just until moistened – the batter should be lumpy, and that’s perfect!
- Step 6: Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and dried herbs just until evenly distributed. If using red pepper flakes, add them now.
- Step 7: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. The muffins will rise during baking, so leave some space.
- Step 8: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 9: Allow the Sausage Breakfast Muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture!
