Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Mixture

  • 1 package (12 oz) breakfast sausage

Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of muffins.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon until it browns and is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess fat and set sausage aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Combine Sausage and Batter: Gently fold the cooked sausage into the batter, evenly dispersing it without overmixing.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute the breakfast sausage with ground turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
  • For added flavor, try adding chopped green onions or a pinch of smoked paprika to the batter.
  • Make sure the sausage is well drained to avoid greasy muffins.
  • Use gluten-free pancake mix to make this recipe gluten-free.
