Here’s a simple recipe for Muffins with Sausage:
Ingredients:
•2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
•1 tbsp baking powder
•1/2 tsp salt
•1/2 tsp black pepper (optional)
•1/4 tsp garlic powder or paprika (optional, for flavor)
•1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
•2 large eggs
•1 cup (240 ml) milk
•1 cup (200 g) cooked sausage (crumbled or chopped into small pieces)
•1/2 cup (50 g) shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice, optional)
•2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1.Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
2.Prepare Sausage: Cook the sausage in a pan over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
3.Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
4.Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and oil/butter until combined.
5.Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy).
6.Add Sausage and Cheese: Fold the cooked sausage and shredded cheese (if using) into the batter.
7.Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
8.Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9.Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
•These muffins freeze well! Wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for a quick snack.
•Experiment with add-ins like diced bell peppers, onions, or even a touch of hot sauce for extra flavor!
Enjoy your savory sausage muffins!
