These AIP Maple Breakfast Sausages are a perfect blend of savory and sweet, featuring ground pork, maple syrup, and fresh thyme. Quick to prepare and packed with flavor, they’re a wholesome breakfast option for anyone following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) or seeking a delicious, healthy start to the day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (pure)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, maple syrup, garlic, thyme, and sea salt. Mix gently with a spoon or your hands until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the sausages tender.
  2. Shape the Patties: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into small round patties about ½–¾ inch thick and 2 inches wide. Aim for uniform sizes for even cooking.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the patties in the pan without overcrowding.
  4. Cook the Sausages: Cook each side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Flip gently using a spatula.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sides!

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair these sausages with sautéed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
  • For an extra cozy touch, serve with caramelized onions or baked apples.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use high-quality ground pork for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you’re using leaner meats like turkey or chicken as a substitute, consider adding a teaspoon of olive oil to keep them moist.
  • Don’t press down on the patties while cooking—this helps retain their juices.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
