These Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Muffins are golden, fluffy, savory, and loaded with flavorful sausage and gooey melted cheese. They’re perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, meal prep, or an easy grab-and-go snack!

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan, optional

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
4. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and melted butter.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
6. Fold in the cooked sausage, 1 cup cheddar, mozzarella, and green onions.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
8. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Parmesan over the tops.
9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool for about 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and serve warm.

💡 Pro Tips

• Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the muffins soft and tender.
• Use sharp cheddar for a stronger cheesy flavor.
• Turkey or chicken sausage can be substituted for pork sausage.
• Add diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
• For meal prep, refrigerate for up to 4 days and reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
