→ Muffin Base
01 -
1 lb ground turkey breakfast sausage or seasoned ground turkey
02 -
2 large eggs
03 -
1/2 cup milk
04 -
2 tablespoons maple syrup
05 -
1 1/2 cups protein pancake mix (Kodiak Cakes recommended)
06 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles about the size of peas. Let the cooked sausage cool slightly.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and maple syrup until smooth and slightly frothy.
04 -
Add the protein pancake mix to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
05 -
Gently fold the cooled sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter using a rubber spatula. Ensure even distribution.
06 -
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to leave room for rising.
07 -
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Begin checking at 18 minutes.
08 -
Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breakage.
# Notes:
01 -
Grease the muffin tin generously to avoid sticking as these muffins tend to adhere tightly to the pan.
