Paleo Sausage Pancake Muffins

Remember those Paleo Blueberry Pancake Muffins I made? Well this is the same recipe just using breakfast sausage links. Real creative, I know! I unfortunately haven't seen the Birch Benders Paleo Pancake & Waffle Mix at Whole Foods since the first time I bought a couple, so I might have to purchase it from Amazon for now on. I make these breakfast type muffins for my mom because they are easy to prep ahead of time and also easy to grab in the morning for breakfast. My mom loves them and as someone new to the paleo lifestyle, I think these muffin recipes help her not think she is necessarily on a "diet." I mean who eats delicious muffins on a diet? Anyways, I add a Paleo Protein scoop to the muffin mix just to get some more protein into my mom's diet, so that ingredient is totally optional. These have been a staple and easy breakfast option for my mother and one that I will continue to experiment with!
