These protein muffins are subtly sweet/ savory and will keep you full until lunch.
Ingredients:
2 cups Kodiak pancake mix
1 Jimmy Dean maple sausage, browned & patted dry
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups Fairlife milk (for extra protein)
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 cup shredded cheese
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Spray a regular (or mini muffin) sized muffin pan with nonstick spray; set aside.
In a bowl, add the mix, eggs, milk, maple syrup, & beat together. Add in the cooked sausage & cheese and stir together until well combined.
Distribute evenly among the muffin tins.
Bake for 15 – 18 minutes.
Allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve with maple syrup.

Enjoy!

nutrition facts?
I don’t calculate the nutritional value of recipes, but you asked & I’m curious. So, here’s the result:
It made 12 regular size muffins & each muffin is 263.66 calories (not including if you dip into extra maple syrup) & has 14.65 grams of protein.
how many calories would a mini muffin be?
Since a regular muffin pan has 12 muffins & those are 263.33 calories & a mini muffin pan has 24 muffins, I’d say 131.83 calories per mini muffin.
which Jimmy dean sausage? Links, pattys, tube??
1 lb in the tube
can you use almond milk?
I don’t see why not.
Makes 12 I’m assuming? Also, can I freeze? Or would they get mushy?
Yes, the batter is enough for 12 standard muffins. I’ve never frozen them, but I’m sure they’d be fine.
I made these and froze them. Wrapped individually in saran wrap and put them all in a ziploc freezer bag. Pull out, remove saran, wrap in paper towel and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Perfect
can’t wait to try these! In the oven now! I added flax seed for the fiber and cottage cheese for more protein! Crossing my fingers they turn out!
So smart with the flax seed!
how did they come out with cottage cheese, and how much did you use?
I’m also curious about the cottage cheese?
has anyone try to freeze them?
just made these… so good. Made way more than I thought. 12 regular and 24 mini…. Muffin cups were totally full too
Could you use sugar free syrup instead?
Absolutely!
these are in my oven right now!
Delicious…thanks for recipe and nutritional info.
Absolutely delicious! This recipe made 12 heaping muffins that were very easy to freeze and reheat. I will definitely be making this again and again. I followed the recipe exactly.
Yum! These are so good! I used Applegate chicken maple sausage patties and then just diced them up—they are a leaner protein with lower sodium and fewer additives! I am going to try to freeze and reheat them for those days I want a quick breakfast! Definitely will make again!!
I couldn’t find my muffin tin, so I backed these in a springform pan. Am I looking for a toothpick to come out clean like in cake baking to represent doneness?
Yep
hi! The store only had the Kodiak muffin mix rather than the pancake. Have you tried this before and did you have to make any adjustments? I’m worried the consistency will be different but I’m making it anyway cuz that’s what I’ve got! Thanks
Hi I hope this doesn’t post multiple times cuz WordPress is being weird! Anyway have you tried this with the muffin mix rather than the pancake mix? It’s all my store had. Trying to see if you have and any adjustments you’ve made as I’m worried the consistency won’t be quite the same. Thanks!
Hi, it’s all good. To answer your question, I haven’t but I’m sure it will work just as well. I’ve seen videos of people making other protein muffins with it & they turn out fine. If you think about it, afterwards add another comment so people know how they turned out. I really think you won’t have an issue with it.
Defintely needs more syrup if you want that sweet flavor. Made 12 regular and 8 mini muffins.
if you don’t have a muffin tin, can you just roll them into balls? Or do you think they would fall apart?
It’s definitely muffin batter so rolling wouldn’t work. You could put it into a bread pan or even a 9×9 pan & just eyeball the time.
