Helpful hints

  • Freeze extra muffins and reheat for 30-40 seconds in the microwave for a quick breakfast entree.
  • Try Homemade Sausage or Homemade Turkey Sausage from the DaVita.com recipe collection to replace the sausage mixture.
  • A regular size muffin tin cup holds 3-1/2 ounces. Use a smaller muffin tin if desired, but reduce the cooking time.
