Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups complete pancake mix (just add water variety)
- 1 ½ cups cold water
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup mild or sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- Non-stick cooking spray (for greasing the tin)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a mini muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray or use paper liners.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and cold water until there are no large lumps remaining.
- Stir in the maple syrup and your choice of shredded cheddar cheese until evenly mixed.
- Gently fold the cooked sausage crumbles into the batter using a spatula, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters of the way to the top.
- Bake the bites for about 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the bites to rest in the pan for a few minutes before gently removing them to keep their shape.
Notes
For variations, consider adding cooked bacon bits or diced jalapeños for extra flavor. These bites freeze well too; just ensure they are cooled completely before storing.
