Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your muffins bake evenly and rise properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cornmeal, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 2 eggs. Whisk these wet ingredients until they are fully blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in 1 cup of cooked sausage (crumbled), 1 cup of shredded cheese, and 1/2 cup of chopped bell peppers into the batter. Ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking. Using a spoon or a scoop, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These savory breakfast muffins are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the dry ingredients the night before and store them in an airtight container. Just mix in the wet ingredients in the morning for a quick breakfast solution!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to swap out the sausage for bacon or ham, and mix in your favorite vegetables like spinach or onions for a personalized touch.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a few minutes before the 20-minute mark. They should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast!
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these muffins warm with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of your favorite salsa for an extra kick. They also pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea!
