Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
Others
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the muffins.
- Brown Sausage: Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through, then drain excess fat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, whisking until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, careful not to overmix.
- Add Sausage and Cheese: Fold the cooked sausage and shredded cheese into the batter evenly.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Grease or line a muffin tin, then pour the batter evenly into the cups.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- You can substitute the sausage for turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Adding chopped vegetables like bell peppers or onions can add extra flavor and nutrition.
- Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the tin to prevent crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
