Instructions:
- Prepare the Sausage:

- Bake the Muffins:
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
