Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Stir in the cooked and crumbled sausage and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving if desired.
