Ingredients

1 lb ground breakfast sausage turkey or pork your choice
2 large eggs
2 cups gluten-free protein pancake mix I used King Arthur Baking brand
1.5 cups almond milk or milk of choice
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese sharp
2 tablespoon maple syrup plus extra for drizzlin if desired

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat and transfer the sausage to a large mixing bowl.
In the same bowl, add the pancake mix, eggs, almond milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and maple syrup. Stir until well combined, ensuring no dry spots remain.
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with avocado oil (or your preferred cooking spray). Divide the muffin batter evenly among the cups, filling each one to the top.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm with extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

These muffins are the perfect balance of sweet and savory, with real maple syrup, sausage, and cheddar cheese baked into a muffin that’s easy to grab and go. For extra maple flavor, try adding maple extract or swirling syrup into the batter before baking.
