Had to try the mini muffin recommendations with the blueberry mix and sausage links. These are DELICIOUS and my kids absolutely love them!
I used two packages of blueberry muffin mix and one cup of milk – cut the sausage links into 3’s and put each piece in the mix. Spray your muffin pan so they don’t stick! I baked these at 400 for about 10 minutes. They are delicious with and without syrup. We got 48 mini muffins and we’ll be freezing these to have quick on the go breakfasts.
If you want them to be a bit brown on top, just put it on broil for a few seconds but watch it closely!
Here’s the recipe for your tasty Blueberry Sausage Mini Muffins:
Ingredients:
- 2 packages of blueberry muffin mix
- 1 cup milk
- Sausage links (enough for 48 mini muffins), cut into thirds
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grease your mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, prepare the blueberry muffin mix according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves combining the mix with milk.
- Cut the sausage links into thirds, creating bite-sized pieces.
- Gently fold the sausage pieces into the blueberry muffin batter until evenly distributed.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill each mini muffin cup with the batter and sausage mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- If you prefer a slightly browned top, you can place the muffins under the broiler for a few seconds. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once baked, allow the mini muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy the mini muffins warm or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or with a drizzle of syrup.
- If you’re planning to freeze them, make sure they are completely cooled before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
- To reheat from frozen, simply microwave for a quick breakfast on the go.

4. Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
- Absolutely! These mini muffins are great for meal prep. Bake them ahead of time, allow them to cool, and freeze. Reheat in the microwave when you’re ready to enjoy.
