These savory sausage pancake muffins combine the sweet aroma of pancakes with the hearty flavor of sausage for a protein-packed, grab-and-go breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternatives like almond milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. Brown your sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese (and any optional herbs or veggies).
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
