cooked sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey sausage is lower in fat, while ground beef can be more economical.

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, and water is the most economical option.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.

In another bowl, beat together milk, eggs, and olive oil until combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serve warm with mustard or hot sauce if desired.
