Cheddar Apple Sausage Jumbo Muffins

Sweet breakfast muffins aren’t your thing? Then this healthy savory muffins is just for you! Packed with breakfast sausage, Cheddar cheese, and chopped apple, it’s hearty enough to be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Delicious, cheesy and everything you want for breakfast in the form of a muffin! Let’s face it, every time you and I bake a batch of muffins, no one wants to eat only one! That’s why we made these JUMBO-size.

Don’t worry, since it’s a breakfast muffin we made sure to keep the recipe clean by swapping regular flour for oat flour making this recipe 100% gluten-free while adding some extra fiber! Instead of oil, we used yogurt, so they’re super moist and A WHOLE LOT healthier than your typical coffee shop muffin.

Which gives you one more reason to enjoy a jumbo muffin all by yourself!

Recipes just like this are found in the Classic Meal Plans. All the family favorites made healthy and simple, so you can enjoy them anytime!

Can these be made in a regular muffin tin?

Absolutely! Just keep an eye out because they’ll bake faster than the jumbo size.

Can I freeze leftovers?

In case you have leftovers, YES! Freeze these muffins before or after you bake them to keep a backup breakfast on hand.
