Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix the kind that only needs water
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage

Instructions

  • Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling as it cooks, until cooked through. Strain to remove excess grease and set aside.

  • Add the pancake mix, water, cheese, and syrup to a large mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly combined. Fold in the sausage.
    2 cups pancake mix, 1 1/2 cups water, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • Spoon the batter evenly out into nonstick mini muffin tin wells.
  • Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown.
  • Serve warm with syrup for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • If you're worried about the muffins sticking, spray the wells of the mini muffin tin pan with nonstick spray before adding the pancake batter.
  • You can use different cheese or spicy sausage for variations.
  • Real maple syrup tastes best but the fake stuff will work for this too.
