I'm going savory for this month's Muffin Monday! I snagged some breakfast sausage on sale and got bored eating them as is so I went searching on the Taste of Home site for ways to use them and I found Lisa D's Sausage Pancake Muffins.

The only change to the recipe I made was to use whole milk because that's what we always keep on hand. I was tempted to sprinkle the tops with some maple sugar I bought locally but was worried it might burn.
Next time I'd cut the sausage links into smaller pieces. I also tested some in full size that I didn't get photos of. The minis are great for on the go breakfasts and I liked the regular for at home.
Real maple syrup gave just the right finishing touch but maple butter or maple cream would be delicious too.
