  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  7. Fold in the cooked sausage until evenly distributed.
  8. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  2. Allow to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
