Ingredients
– 1 pound breakfast sausage
– 2 cups pancake mix
– 1 cup milk
– 1 egg
– ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
1- First off, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease or line a 12-count muffin tin to avoid any sticking issues. This step sets the stage for even baking and ensures your muffins come out just right. Once that’s done, you’re ready to mix things up.
2- Next, in a large bowl, combine the browned sausage, 2 cups of pancake mix, 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, and ½ cup of grated cheddar cheese. Mix everything well until it’s evenly blended, creating a batter that’s full of flavor and texture. For variations, this is where you could toss in extras like jalapenos or swap the sausage for bacon.
3- Now, divide the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to make sure they’re uniform. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until they’re lightly browned. Let them cool a bit before serving to keep that fresh taste intact.

🧊 Make these ahead of time and freeze them for up to 3 months – just microwave frozen muffins for about 45 seconds for a quick breakfast
🌶️ Add finely diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the mixture for a spicy kick that complements the sausage perfectly
🥓 Substitute crumbled cooked bacon or turkey sausage for variety – just adjust cooking time if using raw meat that needs to be cooked first
