This homemade maple breakfast sausage recipe is quick and easy to make. It also contains a lot more nutritious and clean ingredients, as opposed to store-bought breakfast sausages that can contain many preservatives and fillers and are a lot more processed.
These maple breakfast sausages are oven baked, but can also be fried if preferred. Below I provide options for ingredient substitutions, as well as directions on making it lower carb/keto, lower calorie, lower oxalate, lower FODMAP and candida diet friendly/sugar-free.
Recipe substitutions or variations
Substitutions:
Ground pork substitutions: instead of using ground pork, you can also use ground turkey, ground chicken or ground beef.
Garlic powder substitutions: instead of using dried garlic powder, you can swap it out for 1 to 2 cloves of fresh garlic.
Onion powder substitutions: instead of using dried garlic powder, you can swap it out for ⅛ of a cup of fresh diced onions.
Ground cloves substitutions: instead of using ground cloves, you can also use ground nutmeg as they are very similar in flavour.
Maple syrup substitutions: instead of using maple syrup, you could also use maple flavoured stevia, or agave syrup. Or feel free to leave out the maple syrup altogether.

Make this recipe lower carb: Omit the maple syrup and replace with maple flavoured Stevia or any other sugar-free alternative.
Make this recipe lower calorie/fat: Swap out the ground pork for ground chicken or ground turkey.
