- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage cooked, drained and crumbled
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- maple syrup for serving
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius)
Brown the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium/high heat until no longer pink. Drain (if needed) and crumble. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl beat the butter and sugars until fluffy.
Beat the eggs into the butter mixture, one at a time.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Alternately add the flour mixture and Greek yogurt into the butter mixture, beating after each addition.
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold in the blueberries and the cooled breakfast sausage.
Spoon the batter evenly into a 9x13 casserole dish that has been prepared with baking spray.
Sprinkle the top of the batter evenly with nuts before baking. (optional)
Bake for approximately 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes and cut into squares.
Serve with plenty of maple syrup and enjoy!
