Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces breakfast sausage (uncooked)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it generously.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns. Once fully cooked, drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  4. In another bowl, beat eggs until smooth. Add buttermilk, melted butter, and honey, whisking everything together thoroughly.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the cooled sausage, blueberries, and shredded cheese using a rubber spatula.
  7. Divide the batter among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring the muffins to a wire rack.

Notes

Bring eggs and buttermilk to room temperature before mixing. Drain the cooked sausage thoroughly to avoid greasy muffins. Toss blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them in to prevent sinking.
