Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Pancake mix Original or Buttermilk
  • 1 cup Milk Whole or 2%
  • 2 large Eggs Room temperature
  • ¼ cup Maple syrup Plus extra for brushing
  • ½ lb Breakfast sausage Cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese Shredded

Equipment

  • 1 Mini Muffin Tin 24-count
  • 1 Mixing bowl Large size
  • 1 Skillet For browning sausage

Method
 

  1. Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet until crumbly, then drain and cool slightly.
  2. Whisk together the pancake mix, milk, eggs, and maple syrup until a thick batter forms.
  3. Fold the shredded cheese and cooked sausage crumbles into the pancake batter.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each well about ⅔ full.
  5. Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until golden and set.
  6. Brush the warm bites with additional maple syrup and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a thick pancake batter to ensure the sausage crumbles stay suspended in the middle of the bite rather than sinking to the bottom.
