These sausage muffins come together in no time and are a hit with the whole family! Savory, cheesy, and just a touch of maple sweetness — perfect for breakfast, lunchboxes, or a quick snack! Save these for your breakfast prep next week!
First, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled, then drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and pure maple syrup. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the cooked sausage and grated mozzarella cheese. Divide the batter evenly into a greased muffin tin. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
