Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (opt for gluten-free flour if desired)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder (check for freshness)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar (feel free to reduce for a lighter muffin)
- 1 cup milk (almond or oat milk are great plant-based alternatives)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup melted butter (can be replaced with coconut oil for a dairy-free treat)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (honey or agave syrup can be used as substitutes)
- 1 pound ground sausage (try turkey sausage or veggie crumbles)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (feel free to swap in Colby Jack or Monterey Jack)
- fresh herbs (consider adding chives or parsley)
- berries or chocolate chips (for a sweet twist)
- sautéed vegetables (bell peppers and onions work beautifully)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
- Combine the wet ingredients by whisking the eggs, milk, melted butter, and maple syrup in another bowl.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients gently until just blended.
- Fold in the cooked ground sausage and half the cheddar cheese.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Top each muffin with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the muffins are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
