Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• All-Purpose Flour: Choose good quality flour for a light texture in your muffins.

• Baking Powder: Fresh baking powder ensures your muffins rise properly and have that lovely fluffy texture.

• Salt: A pinch enhances all flavors; don’t skip it!

• Eggs: Use large eggs; they add moisture and binding to your muffins.

• Milk: Whole milk gives richness; however, you can substitute almond milk if preferred.

• Sausage: Breakfast sausage works best; choose spicy or mild according to your taste.

• Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar brings bold flavor; shred it yourself for better melting.

• Green Onions: Fresh green onions add a pop of color and flavor; chop them finely for even distribution.

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you assemble the ingredients. This will ensure it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to bake.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This step is crucial for evenly distributing the leavening agent.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with milk until frothy. This helps introduce air into the mixture, giving your muffins that delightful rise.

Add Sausage and Cheese: Cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Fold in cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the wet mixture gently without overmixing.

Combine Everything Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix gradually. Stir just until combined; lumps are okay! This helps retain fluffiness in your muffins.

Bake to Perfection: Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake them in your preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

And there you have it! Crazy Good Sausage Muffins with Cheddar that will make everyone swoon! Enjoy them warm or at room temperature—either way, they’ll disappear faster than you can say “muffin top.”

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brown the sausage in a pan while mixing dry ingredients. Then, combine everything and bake until golden brown for perfect results.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out cheddar for pepper jack or add chopped veggies. This allows you to personalize these muffins to suit your taste and make them even more exciting!

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat in a microwave or oven until warm to keep their delicious texture.

Sharing my first experience with these crazy good sausage muffins brings back fond memories of my kids’ delighted faces at breakfast. Their giggles and cheesy grins made all the effort worthwhile!
