Welcome to my series where I take viral recipes and make them more of a “Peachie balance”. So, high protein + blood sugar friendly and I always tweak the healthy fats if they’re high to keep calories lower. For this recipe, I swapped for turkey sausage, whites, and less cheddar cheese for lower fats. Swapped pancake mix for coconut flour, baking soda, and protein powder for way less carbs + more fiber and protein. And tastes the same 🥳🤗💪🏼

INGREDIENTS
-
WET
-
1 lb turkey breakfast sausage, used Jennie-o brand
-
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
-
2 eggs or 1/3 c liquid egg whites
-
1 c unsw almond milk, desired milk, or water
-
1 tsp maple extract (McCormick brand on my Amazon shop)
-
1 tsp butter extract (McCormick brand on my Amazon or can find at Walmart)
-
1/2 c sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
-
-
DRY
-
1/2 c coconut flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
dash of salt
-
STEPS
-
Preheat oven to 375
-
Cook the breakfast sausage in a pan for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and crumbled. Drain fat, if any and set aside.
-
In a large bowl add the remaining wet ingredients to the bowl. (Can save some shredded cheese to sprinkle on top) Stir to combine.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir. Add cooked sausage and fold in (stir gently).
-
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with avocado oil. I used a silicone pan and they never stick. Divide the mixture between the 12 cups, filling to the top. Add the rest of the cheddar to top
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes until fluffy and cooked through. You can also swap to broil on high for the last couple minutes to brown the top bit watch them, they’ll burn quick.
-
Let them cool for 10 minutes, then remove and enjoy. Pour maple syrup or your fave sugar free syrup before serving, if desired. Store in a covered dish in the fridge for up to 5 days.
