Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a nutty twist)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (feel free to substitute with coconut sugar)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (buttermilk adds extra fluffiness)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (can use olive oil or coconut oil)
  • 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (try turkey or plant-based sausage for a lighter option)
  • ½ cup maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness)
Optional Add-ins
  • to taste Fresh blueberries or chocolate chips for a sweet touch
  • to taste Chopped bell peppers or cheese for a savory twist

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gather your muffin tin. Line it with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter, blending until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, folding them together until just combined.
  5. Carefully stir in the cooked sausage and maple syrup until mixed.
  6. Spoon the mixture into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. If desired, sprinkle optional ingredients like chocolate chips or fruits over the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  2. Let the muffins cool slightly in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack.
