THE RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely minced
- 1 green pepper, finely minced
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 lb. breakfast sausages, removed from casings
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Sea salt, to taste
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar (or 1/4 cup nutritional yeast for paleo/ dairy-free)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the sausages and cook through. Mix in the chili powder, oregano, and pepper then season to taste with salt.
- Add the cooked sausage, eggs, almond flour, baking soda, green onions, and the cheese or nutritional yeast to a bowl and mix well.
- Drop the batter by the 1/4 cup onto the parchment lined baking sheets. The muffins don't spread much so you can place them fairly close together. Bake for 15 minutes then remove them from the oven.
