Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
- Combine the pancake mix, protein powder, baking powder, and if you fancy it, the cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk the milk and eggs together until smooth in a separate bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the cooked and crumbled sausage, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For dairy-free, use almond milk. For a leaner option, turkey sausage works well. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, or freeze for longer storage.
