Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the ground breakfast sausage until it is fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions into the batter until evenly distributed.
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
