Cheesy Sausage Oat Muffins

Wednesdays are my crazy days! Dave is at school, so I try to cram in as baking, cleaning, and errand running into 4 hours as I can. Tonight I decided to try a new savory muffin recipe on top of baking bread, cleaning the bedroom, doing the laundry, dishes, and some brief shopping.

I've been making a lot of muffins lately because we don't usually take time for breakfast before we head  out in the morning. These are different than anything I've made before, really tasty and with the oats and wheat flour can't be that bad for you!

1 1/4 c all-purpose flour (I used wheat flour)
3/4 c old-fashioned oats
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 t garlic powder
1 t onion powder
1/3 cup margarine (melted)
2 eggs
1 c nonfat buttermilk
3 breakfast patties (cooked and crumbled)
1/2 c cheese (grated)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 12 - 18 cup muffin tin, or line with paper liners (fill to the top, they don't rise much).

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted margarine, egg and buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix until just blended. Fold in the crumbled patties and cheese. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.

Bake for 8 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly touched. Cool in muffin tins on a wire rack.
