Description
Sweet-and-savory Homemade McGriddle Muffins made with maple syrup, sausage, and cheddar cheese baked into a fluffy pancake batter — an easy, freezer-friendly breakfast the whole family will love.
Ingredients
2 ¼ cups complete pancake mix
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
⅓ cup pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
1 pound breakfast sausage
1 ¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked; drain well.
3. Whisk together milk, eggs, and maple syrup in a large bowl.
4. Fold in the pancake mix until just combined.
5. Stir in the cooked sausage, cheddar, salt, and pepper.
6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about two-thirds full.
7. Bake for 14 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Avoid paper liners, as the muffins tend to stick to them. Silicone liners or a well-greased pan work best.
