These Crazy-Good Cheesy Sausage Muffins combine savory cooked breakfast sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and a fluffy muffin base made without Bisquick. Perfect for breakfast on-the-go, holiday brunches, or a hearty snack, this recipe offers a gluten-free option as well by using gluten-free flour. The muffins bake up golden and cheesy, delivering a satisfying southern-inspired flavor in each bite.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Sausage Mixture

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free, Cup4Cup gluten-free flour recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or sugar
  • 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • (optional) additional cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Cook Sausage: Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Begin by cooking the sausage in a skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned and fully cooked. Drain the cooked sausage on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Liberally grease the muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if you are not using maple syrup). Stir in the cooked sausage and grated sharp cheddar cheese to evenly distribute.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and pure maple syrup if using. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the melted and cooled butter, then stir gently until just combined and no dry flour remains.
  4. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup to the top. If desired, sprinkle additional cheese on top for an extra cheesy crust.
  5. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free flour such as Cup4Cup for a gluten-free version.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with sugar or omitted depending on your preference.
  • Make sure to drain your cooked sausage thoroughly to avoid greasy muffins.
  • Additional cheddar cheese on top creates a deliciously crispy crust.
  • Muffins are best eaten warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
