Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the cooked sausage.
- Fill the Muffin Tins: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Serve: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
