Ingredients
Scale
- For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the crumbled sausage and shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
- Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Bake in the morning for fresh muffins.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Substitutions: Use turkey sausage for a leaner option or swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
