I’m so proud of this cornbread sausage muffin recipe.
If you’re looking for a new spin on a celebratory dinner, like Thanksgiving, I recommend you try these muffins. They’ve got apples, onions, and celery, but the secret ingredient is the ground Italian sausage.
The sausage has a smoky, bold flavor that gives the muffins their depth.
So with the apples adding a touch of sweetness, the onions and celery bringing umami, and the sausage adding a spiced Italian meat, these muffins were so well balanced, and… yummy, I couldn’t stop eating them. In fact, I brought a batch to a picnic yesterday and they were all gone in minutes.
Cornbread Sausage Muffin Recipe
Makes 2 dozen muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Italian Sausage
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3/4 cup chopped celery (~2 stalks)
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (SECRET SPICE THAT WORKS GREAT WITH SAUSAGE!)
- 3 cups cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 6 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
- 2 peeled and diced tart green apples
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan over medium heat, and saute the onions and celery until the onions start to turn translucent – about 5 minutes.
Add 2 teaspoons of poultry seasoning, and stir in the sausage. Cook until brown. Break up any large pieces. Strain and set aside while you make the batter.

In a large mixing bowl add the cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Optionally, you can add a 1/4 cup of sugar – it depends on your preference for cornbread. Mix until combined.
In a second mixing bowl, add the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Whisk until the eggs are fully incorporated. Add the dry ingredients all at once, and mix. You should have a thick but pourable batter.

Generously butter your muffin tin. The butter will help create a nice brown crust and make the muffins easy to remove. Spoon in the batter, about 3/4 full.
Bake until you start to see some brown around the top edge of the muffin, about 15-18 minutes.

I sprinkled on some thyme and chives, and with a pat of butter…. heaven.
