Sausage Cheddar Pancake Muffins (Printable Version)

Savory muffins combining sausage, cheddar, and protein pancake mix for a quick, hearty meal.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Meat

01 - 450 g ground breakfast sausage

→ Dairy & Eggs

02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 120 ml milk
04 - 90 g shredded cheddar cheese

→ Sweeteners

05 - 30 ml maple syrup

→ Dry Mix

06 - 180 g protein pancake mix

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 190°C and thoroughly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles until fully browned.
03 - Allow the cooked sausage to cool slightly to prevent premature cooking of eggs during mixing.
04 - Whisk together eggs, milk, and maple syrup in a large bowl until fully blended.
05 - Add the protein pancake mix to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined without overmixing.
06 - Fold the cooled sausage crumbles and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
07 - Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
09 - Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use turkey breakfast sausage as a leaner alternative. Ensure the muffin tin is well greased to avoid sticking.
02 - Cooling the sausage prior to combining helps prevent the eggs from cooking prematurely.
