Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these sweet and savory muffins:

• 2 packages blueberry muffin mix (about 14-16 oz each)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 package sausage links (about 12-14 links, cut into thirds)
• Cooking spray (for greasing the muffin pan)
• Optional Toppings:
• Maple syrup (for dipping or drizzling)
• Powdered sugar (for a sweet finish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Muffin Batter

• In a large bowl, combine the blueberry muffin mix and milk. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix—it’s okay if there are a few lumps).

3. Cut the Sausage Links

• Cut each sausage link into 3 pieces.

4. Assemble the Muffins

• Fill each mini muffin cup about 2/3 full with the muffin batter.
• Place 1 piece of sausage into the center of each muffin cup, pressing it down slightly into the batter.

5. Bake

• Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden.
• Optional: For a browner top, switch the oven to broil for 10-15 seconds, but watch closely to prevent burning.

6. Cool & Serve

• Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping or drizzle, or enjoy them as-is!

Tips for the Best Sausage & Blueberry Mini Muffins

• Use Pre-Cooked Sausage: If your sausage links are raw, cook them according to the package directions before cutting and adding to the muffins.
• Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make the muffins dense. Stir until just combined.
• Freeze for Later: Once cooled, place the muffins in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a zip-top bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
• Customize the Flavors: Try using different muffin mixes (like cinnamon or chocolate chip) or swap the sausage for bacon or ham.

Serving Ideas

• With Syrup: Serve with maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
• As a Snack: Pack them in lunchboxes or enjoy as an afternoon treat.
• For Brunch: Serve alongside scrambled eggs and fresh fruit for a complete meal.
• With a Side of Yogurt: Pair with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use regular-sized muffin pans?
Yes! Just adjust the baking time to 15-18 minutes for regular-sized muffins.

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of muffin mix?
Yes, but you’ll need to make a basic muffin batter from scratch. Try using 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 egg, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries and proceed with the recipe as directed.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! These muffins are perfect for meal prep. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.

What if I don’t have sausage links?
You can use cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, diced ham, or even bacon pieces.
