  • Total Time: 33 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • For the Muffins:
  • 1 pound turkey sausage
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (plus extra for brushing tops)
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • For the Gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set skillet aside for gravy.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add cooked sausage and both cheeses to the dry ingredients and mix.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, maple syrup, and melted butter.
  6. Combine wet and dry mixtures, stirring just until incorporated.
  7. Scoop batter evenly into muffin tin and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Optional: Brush muffin tops with extra maple syrup after baking.
  9. To Make the Gravy: In the reserved skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk continuously until heated through and slightly thickened, about 5–7 minutes.

Notes

  • Make muffins ahead and reheat; prepare gravy fresh when serving.
  • Gravy can be flavored with a pinch of sage or thyme for added depth.
