With its perfect blend of protein, flavor, and convenience, these Meatless Maple Sausage Muffins are a game-changer for meal prep.

In the realm of meal prep, finding a dish that is not only convenient but also packs a punch of nutrition can be challenging. Enter the Homemade Meatless Maple Sausage Muffins, my take on the golden arches sausage McGriddles – a protein-packed, filling meal that will keep you fueled throughout the morning. With 40g of protein per serving, these muffins are delicious and incredibly satisfying. Let’s dive into how to prepare this perfect meal prep option at home.

What You’ll Need:

Meatless sausages: are typically lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than traditional meat sausages. They are often made from plant-based ingredients. 

Protein Almond Milk: Fortified with additional protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth.

Protein Pancake Mix: This blend allows you to start your day with a satisfying meal that tastes delicious and provides the essential nutrients to fuel your body and support your overall health and fitness goals.

Eggs:  Are considered a complete protein source, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids

Cheddar Cheese: Has a smooth and creamy texture when melted, making it ideal for adding richness and creaminess. 

Sugar-Free Maple Syrup (or reg):  Sweetened with low-calorie or calorie-free sweeteners such as stevia or erythritol, which can help reduce overall calorie intake compared to traditional maple syrup.

Helpful Tips for Meal Prep:

1. Double or triple the batch: Make a larger batch of these muffins to have plenty on hand for meal prep throughout the week. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat them as needed.

2. Customize your toppings: Get creative to keep things interesting. Add sliced avocado, tomatoes, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor and nutrition.

3. Portion control: Use a kitchen scale or measuring cups to portion out the batter and filling evenly, ensuring consistent nutrition in each Muffin

4. Freeze for later: These muffins freeze well, making them an excellent option for batch cooking. Wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, pop them in the microwave or toaster oven until heated.

5. Prep components in advance: Save time during the week by prepping the components in advance. Cook the sausage patties and shred the cheese beforehand, so all you have to do is assemble and bake when you’re ready for meal prep.

Ingredients:

– 2 Meatless Maple Flavored Sausage Patties (such as Morning Star)

– Almond Milk with Protein

– Kodiak Protein Pancake Mix

– 2 Eggs

– 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese

– Sugar-Free Maple Syrup for Toppings

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Microwave the meatless maple-flavored sausage patties for 30-45 seconds. Once cooked, chop them into small pieces. 

3. In a mixing bowl, prepare the Kodiak Protein Pancake Mix according to the package instructions, substituting water with almond milk for added protein, then add eggs.

4. Fold the chopped sausage pieces and shredded sharp cheddar cheese in the pancake mix.

5. Pour the pancake batter evenly into a silicone mold, or if unavailable, a greased muffin tin will do. This mixture makes 6-7 muffins.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and set.

7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the silicone mold or muffin tin.

8. Serve with a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup on top.
