Ingredients
1 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
Butter or oil for greasing the dish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Let it drain and cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
5. Gently combine the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated.
6. Fold in sausage and blueberries gently to distribute evenly.
7. Pour the batter into the baking dish and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to avoid discoloring the batter.
Cook the sausage in advance and allow it to cool slightly before mixing.
Don’t overmix the batter—keep it tender by stirring gently.
