Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for later.
Notes
- Feel free to add diced bell peppers, green onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- These muffins freeze well. To reheat, microwave for 30-60 seconds or bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
