- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup vanilla or plain protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or alternative sweetener
- 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 6 ounces cooked breakfast sausage diced or crumbled
- 0.33 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional for extra flavor
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined (don’t overmix!).
- Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (they should be about ¾ full). Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
