Directions
Gently heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners. In a big bowl, mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, combine the melted margarine, egg substitute, and buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until everything is blended. Gently fold in the crumbled sausage patties and Parmesan cheese. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for about 8 to 12 minutes, or until the tops feel springy when you press them lightly. Let the muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack before serving.
Serving Guide
Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. These muffins also pair well with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
How To Refrigerate This Dish
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven or microwave until heated through. You can also freeze the muffins individually and thaw them as needed for a quick breakfast option.
