Ingredients
  

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with mini muffin liners.

    Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.

      Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

          Add Sausage and Cheese: Gently fold in the crumbled breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions if using.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
