Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon (3 grams) salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or almond milk as substitute)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your mini muffin tin well with cooking spray or melted butter.
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and melted butter until smooth and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  6. Fold the cooled cooked sausage into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Spoon the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about ¾ full.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 15-18 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bites cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm with maple syrup, ketchup, or your favorite breakfast sides.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep it light and fluffy. Pre-cook the sausage thoroughly to avoid soggy bites. Grease the muffin tin generously to prevent sticking. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better batter consistency. If edges brown too quickly, tent with foil to finish baking.
