Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Sausage: Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Cook the breakfast sausage until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat and let cool.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture, fold gently to combine. Incorporate cooked sausage and cheese if desired.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Serve Warm: Let cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle with maple syrup and enjoy!
