Jerk Chicken Sausage and Cheese Muffins - #MuffinMonday

Slow down, June! I can't keep up. How is today already the last Monday in June and hence Muffin Monday? This month I decided to go savoury. Partly because I ate a lot of cookies (OK, it was cookie dough) last week and so needed to cut back on the sugar and mainly because I didn't want to go back to the supermarket for ingredients. I just needed to use what I had. 

I used Reggae Jammin's Jerk Chicken Sausage and some cheddar. Originally I planned on using a mix of cheeses but this worked out fine, nevertheless. Be warned - these muffins stick! 

There are a lot of cheesy muffins in the list below. Lovely coincidence. Be sure to visit all of them. 

Jerk Chicken Sausage and Cheese Muffins 

Yield: 11 muffins

240 grams flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
85 grams grated cheese
78 grams jerk chicken sausage, diced
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
paprika

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 F. Line or grease a muffin pan.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in cheese and then stir in the sausage until the sausage is well coated.
In a large measuring cup whisk milk, egg, and oil.
Pour into the flour mixture and fold gently until just combined.
Divide batter among muffin pan wells.
Bake 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
Enjoy warm.


Again, my apologies for the delay!

Coconut Sweet Bread - #BreadBakers

This coconut quick bread hails from Trinidad. It's your standard quick bread filled with shredded coconut, raisins, and mixed peel. I've avoided this quick bread because I'm not a fan of mixed peel and I've typically seen it loaded with mixed peel. However, I found the perfect cheat. Last Christmas my supermarket had coloured cho-cho (mirliton or chayote) instead of mixed peel. You get the colours without the flavour. That, I can live with. This is definitely joining the list of breads that I'll make over and over again. 

This month the Bread Bakers are making quick breads. No waiting for the yeast to rise, delicious bread in a jiffy. Be sure to scroll down for the other treats this month. Thanks for hosting, Stacy!
