Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage pork, turkey, or your choice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for a spicy kick
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • Optional add-ins: chopped green onions diced bell peppers, or cooked bacon pieces

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Pan:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper muffin cups.

Cook the Sausage:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until it's no longer pink and is slightly browned. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Add Cheese and Sausage:

  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked sausage (along with any optional add-ins) until they are well coated with the flour mixture. This helps to evenly distribute them in the batter.

Mix Wet Ingredients:

  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and eggs until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until the batter is combined; it's okay if it's a bit lumpy.

Fill Muffin Cups:

  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake:

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
