Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ground sausage pick your preferred seasoned sausage for added flavor
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 4.5 oz / 125 g
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 cup milk whole or low-fat; almond milk is a dairy-free option
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey as alternative
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven and Grease Pan:

    Set oven to 400°F (205°C). Thoroughly grease a mini muffin tin for easy release.

  2. Mix Batter Ingredients:

    In a large bowl, mix ground sausage, flour, baking powder, milk, eggs, maple syrup, and salt until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy for optimal texture.

  3. Fill Muffin Cups:

    Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the mixture to achieve a good rise and fluffy result.

  4. Bake Until Golden:

    Bake for approximately 15 minutes until muffins are puffed and golden brown.

  5. Cool Muffins:

    Take out of oven, let rest in pan for a few minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.
