Carnivore Sausage Muffin Recipe

If you’re looking for a low-carb, protein-packed breakfast that keeps you feeling full and energized, these Carnivore Sausage Muffins are exactly what you need. With no grains, sugars, or plant-based ingredients, these savory muffins are 100% carnivore-friendly while still being rich, satisfying, and perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground sausage (preferably pork or your favorite carnivore-friendly sausage)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for a cheesier muffin)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (for extra richness)
• 1/4 cup pork rind crumbs (this acts as a binder and adds texture)
• 1 tbsp butter (for greasing the muffin tin and for flavor)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika for extra seasoning

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with butter or use muffin liners for easy removal.
2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it’s fully browned, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Once cooked, drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Muffin Batter: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them until fully beaten. Add the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), pork rind crumbs, and cooked sausage. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
4. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the sausage and egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup. Fill them nearly to the top, as the muffins will rise slightly while baking.
5. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top of the muffins should be slightly firm and lightly browned.
6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before removing. These can be served warm, but they also store well in the fridge for a few days, so they make for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.

Tips:

• Make Ahead: These sausage muffins are perfect for meal prepping. Simply bake them, store them in an airtight container in the fridge, and reheat them as needed.
• Customizing: You can swap the cheese for other carnivore-friendly cheeses or even add some cooked bacon bits for extra flavor.
• Pork Rind Alternative: If you don’t have pork rind crumbs, you can use finely crushed bacon or even leftover crispy sausage skins for a similar effect.

This recipe gives you a tasty, satisfying breakfast or snack that aligns with the carnivore diet while still being delicious and filling. The combination of sausage, eggs, and cheese makes these muffins rich in protein and fat, providing all the energy you need to start your day. Enjoy!
