Incredibly Easy Breakfast Sausage Muffins

These incredibly easy breakfast sausage muffins are a delicious breakfast for any day of the week.

Breakfast is the meal I struggle with most. I know I have mentioned it before, but I am not a big breakfast eater. However, my family all think they need food first thing in the day. Can you imagine that?

And yes that was said very sarcastically.

I am glad all my family appreciates a good breakfast and I wish I liked breakfast more. Breakfast for me usually consists of a banana or some other fruit, along with a glass of water. That is it.

But since my family likes a good breakfast, I do my best to make sure they have one. One of my favorite ways to do that is to keep the freezer stocked ahead with all kinds of things we can pull out for quick and easy breakfasts.

The overnight pancakes I shared yesterday are great made in a large batch and frozen. We also love to keep breakfast cookies and breakfast bowls in the freezer.

The recipe I am sharing today is another one that I have been making a lot lately and freezing. These also work well for making over the weekend and just keeping in the refrigerator for reheating during the week.

This recipe is based on the classic impossible pie recipe. I tweaked the basic recipe some, made it into a muffin, and used homemade baking mix, but besides that it is a pretty basic variation of the original type recipe.

As I mentioned yesterday I like to use homemade baking mix instead of the stuff from the big box, but if you have some of that on hand or prefer it, feel free to use it. And my gluten free baking mix works well in these as well. I prefer to make them that way so that everyone in my family can enjoy them.
