Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or nonstick spray.
  2. In a skillet, cook the crumbled sausage over medium heat until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and melted butter until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, allowing for a slightly lumpy batter.
  6. Fold in the cooked sausage and cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  7. Divide the batter among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full, and bake for 15-18 minutes.
  8. Cool the muffins in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
