Sausage Muffins Cooking Tips:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and grease a regular muffin pan or use cupcake liners.

Making these muffins is a breeze. Start by preheating your oven and greasing your muffin tin lightly.

Whisk together the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.

Next, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg, then add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Fold in the cooked and drained sausage until evenly distributed.

Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Personally, I think they’re best when eaten warm!

Small Batch Sausage Muffins FAQ:

Can I freeze these muffins?

Absolutely! Once baked and cooled, you can freeze these muffins in an airtight container or resealable plastic bags for up to three months. Just thaw them in the fridge or at room temperature and reheat them in the oven or microwave for a quick, tasty snack.

Can I use a different type of cheese?
