Paleo and nightshade-free breakfast pork sausage is so deliciously crispy! It’s perfect if you are on an AIP diet or if you are looking for an egg-free breakfast.
Did you all have a great Christmas? Mine was so nice and relaxing. My mom and I are on our Pacific Coast Highway road trip from SF to LA, and we are currently in the mountains of Malibu for 3 nights. It’s in a secluded cabin with amazing views, no cell service (thank god for wifi!), and fresh mountain air. It’s so nice to unwind and do nothing for a while.
If you don’t follow me on Instagram and Facebook, I mentioned in one of my posts that I’m putting my mom on the autoimmune protocol (AIP) during this whole trip. She has had rheumatoid arthritis for several years now and she still suffers from it. However, she’s never tried the AIP diet, which has worked so well for so many people with autoimmune diseases. So, this whole trip, I’ve been prepping and cooking up AIP meals and snacks. It’s been challenging at times, but still so fun to travel with my mom.
If you’ve signed up for my newsletter, you already received this recipe in your inbox a few days ago! These breakfast pork sausage is the first AIP recipe that I created, and I’m so excited that it turned out so so tasty. I made a triple batch before leaving on this trip and it’s been a lifesaver in the mornings when I don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. I would just fry up these sausage and sauté some veggies and call it breakfast!
The texture is the best part about these breakfast pork sausage. Crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. I honestly didn’t miss the nightshade vegetables and cracked black pepper in these, which is what I would normally add to a breakfast sausage.
If you are looking for an egg-free breakfast or you are on your own AIP journey, I highly recommend this breakfast pork sausage. It’s seriously so yummy and filling!

Just made these for breakfast. They were amazing! The sage makes all the difference.
So glad you liked them Beth! And yes, sage adds such a great flavor. 🙂
This is almost like my old recipe. Looks and sounds great. However, it might be helpful to note that nutmeg is actually not AIP and neither is butter. People new to this eating plan might not be aware of that and become confused because there are no notes I see stating that. I hope your mom is feeling better. Thank you for your recipe.
Hi JM. Thanks so much for pointing this out! I created this recipe when I was first starting to learn about all the AIP foods so it looks like I made a mistake with the ingredients. I really appreciate you commenting. I’ll fix the recipe right away!
newsletter/alerts please
Hi Suzanne – It looks like you were able to subscribe to my newsletter. Thanks so much!
I see I’m late to the game, but I wanted to comment that this recipe is so, so, SO good!! It will be my go to from now on! Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy. 🙂
Ugh, I made the mistake of following the directions to the letter and “combined all ingredients” including the coconut oil. I thought it was weird but I did it anyway and then realized I was supposed to use the oil for frying. What a mess. 🙁
Oh nooo! So sorry that happened. Maybe you can cook it all in a pan together like ground beef so it doesn’t go to waste.
Can these be made and frozen for several months?
Yes! I would say up to 3 months, but it hasn’t lasted that long in my house. 🙂
This sounds amazing!!! I cant wait to try!! I have a question about the ground pork…do you know what regulations are safe for pork (like “grass-fed” beef)? I was just curious if I need to buy a special type of ground pork for AIP?
Pasture raised pork is the best quality. If you can get it from your local farmer, I highly recommend that!
