On-the-Go Breakfast Muffins Recipe
Kickstart your morning with this On-The-Go Breakfast Muffins Recipe, featuring spicy sausage, eggs, and vegetables. Perfect for a quick, delicious, and protein-packed breakfast. This delightful breakfast idea is for the whole family.
Finding the perfect breakfast recipe for a busy family can be challenging, especially when you’re always on the go. However, these sausage and egg breakfast muffins offer a delicious solution. You can bake a large batch on the weekend and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for the week ahead. Just reheat them and you’re good to go. This saves time and ensures you have a healthy breakfast option ready at all times.
This On The Go Breakfast Muffins Recipe is easy to make and can be customized with everyone’s favorite omelet fillings. The muffins can make a great morning meal for the kids as they head out to catch the bus and for the parents who need to grab something healthy to go with that cup of coffee.
My family loves grab-and-go breakfasts like this recipe or these Mini Pancake Muffins, and these Jam-Filled Corn Flake Muffins. I love an easy make-ahead meal that I can just pull out of the freezer and pop in the microwave to reheat.
On The Go Breakfast Muffins
On-the-go breakfast muffins are filled with spicy sausage, bell peppers, onions, scrambled eggs, and cheese. The filling is then folded into a basic muffin batter and baked in the oven in a muffin tin until the muffins are set and cooked through. It’s that simple and the muffins turn out delicious every time.
The spicy sausage gives it a kick but can be replaced with any type of sausage, bacon, or even ham. Change up the vegetables – broccoli or spinach are great in these muffins! I usually make one batch with no meat and just the scrambled eggs and vegetables.
Of course, if you want to watch the carbs, you can make these Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins which are just as easy and delicious. They freeze well and also make a great light lunch with a side salad.
What goes with muffins for breakfast?
While you can enjoy the sausage and egg muffins by themselves, adding a serving of these Oven Roasted Breakfast Potatoes would be a delicious side. Make a banana split smoothie bowl or a fruit yogurt parfait to go with the muffins. Also, great to serve is a healthy smoothie like this Strawberry Pink Peppercorn Smoothie. For coffee lovers, I suggest this Raspberry Almond Coffee Smoothie. Fresh fruit is always a great choice to add to any breakfast.

- skillet
- rubber spatula
- paper muffin cups
Ingredients
- 1 pound spicy ground sausage
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers (I used red and green)
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 7 eggs, DIVIDED (you will use 5 eggs for the scrambled and 2 for the muffin batter)
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk (I used 2% milk)
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, DIVIDED
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners. In a large nonstick skillet, brown the sausage, breaking it up into small pieces, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink. When the sausage is just about done, add the bell pepper and onions. Cook until vegetables are soft and sausage is done. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Wipe skillet clean.
In a small bowl, whisk five eggs. Pour into the same skillet; cook and scramble over medium heat until cooked through. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine. Set aside. Using a medium bowl, whisk the 2 remaining eggs, milk, and oil together. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Fold in 2/3 cup cheese, sausage, and scrambled eggs.
Fill prepared muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle tops with remaining cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm or cold.
