Ingredients

  • 8 oz Breakfast sausage
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted butter melted, cooled slightly
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dry mustard
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 large Eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cup Buttermilk room temperature
  • 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray, and set it aside.
  • Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium-high, breaking it up into crumbles until it is no longer pink and cooked through. Drain the sausage on a paper towel-lined plate or bowl.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, dry mustard, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • Beat the eggs in the measuring cup with the buttermilk.
  • Add the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  • Add the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and diced chives. Stir just until incorporated, do not overmix.
  • Divide the sausage muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with additional shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Cool on a wire rack.
