Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup cooked breakfast beef sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in cooked beef sausage crumbles and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Divide batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Store in the refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
- For a lighter texture, use turkey sausage or reduce cheese.
- These muffins freeze well; reheat in 30-60 seconds.
- Great for meal prep or a quick weekend brunch.
