Ingredients

For the Muffin Base

1 lb Breakfast Sausage Provides protein and rich, savory flavor; turkey sausage can be a great lean substitute.
2 cups Pancake Mix The base for fluffiness; consider whole wheat or gluten-free varieties for a healthier option.
1 cup Milk Adds moisture and smooth consistency; feel free to use any type of milk, including non-dairy alternatives.
2 large Eggs Bind the ingredients for a rich texture; flax eggs are a suitable vegan option to try.
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil Contributes moisture; melted butter or even applesauce are great alternatives.
1/2 tsp Salt Enhances the overall flavor profile.
1/4 tsp Pepper Adds a hint of spice; feel free to adjust based on your taste preferences.

For the Extra Flavor

1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Infuses richness and flavor; switch to mozzarella or pepper jack for a different twist.

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray or oil.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces for about 5 to 7 minutes until browned.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Gently fold in the cooked sausage into your pancake batter.
Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
