Sweet & Savory Sausage Breakfast Muffins 5DollarDinners.com

Having a stash of goodies is essential for making it through busy weeknights and weekday mornings! I love having breakfast muffins in the freezer for a quick ‘grab n go’ breakfast. I recently heard a stat from a trusted source that the average American spends 7 minutes on breakfast. All parts of breakfast…preparing it, cooking it (or not!), eating it.

7 minutes.

That’s not very long.

And kinda makes me have indigestion just thinking about how many people are shoving food in their mouths as they run out the door, literally.

My boys are early risers…so they take their time in the morning, eating their cereal…or eggs…or sausage…or muffins. I, on the other hand, prefer to ‘eat on the go’ like everyone else in the country…because I have 2 school drop-offs to do every morning. Plus packing 3-4 lunches, depending on the day.

So I generally end up shoving something in my mouth on the way out to the door, or will have a plate of something to munch on in the van.

Something like these muffins.

Protein, veggies…for breakfast. Yes, please!

I love these muffins…how the sweet plus the savory balance each other. The flavor from the red bell pepper plus the hint of sage and the savory sausage. A spectacular and delicious way to start the day!

{This is the square muffin tin that I use! I also love this mini-loaf pan for bigger appetites that need bigger breakfast muffins too!}

    Is it 2 or 4 eggs? The ingredients say 4 eggs, the directions say 2 eggs? What do you do with the remaining two eggs if it is 4 eggs?

    I tried this the other day and they turned out great. I think it would have been better with a different kind of sausage, though. What kind do you use?
