Easy Sausage Breakfast Muffins

Ingredients:

1 pound breakfast sausage

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

3 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

Cook the Sausage:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Combine Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.

Mix Batter:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped green onions (if using).

Fill Muffin Tin:

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

Cool and Serve:

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
