McGriddle Bites Muffin Bake (Printable View)

Sweet-savory muffin bites blend sausage, maple, and cheese in a fluffy, golden treat for any meal.

# Ingredient List:

→ Muffin Batter

01 - 1 pound regular pork breakfast sausage
02 - 2 cups pancake mix (Hungry Jack or similar, water only required)
03 - 1 cup water
04 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Optional Add-Ins

06 - 1/4 cup diced jalapeños
07 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
02 - Cook breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking into crumbles as it browns. Drain excess grease.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, water, and maple syrup. Stir until just moistened.
04 - Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. If using, gently fold in diced jalapeños or blueberries until evenly distributed.
05 - Spoon batter into prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 - Let muffins cool slightly in the tin before serving warm. Serve with additional maple syrup if desired.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best results, use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for superior melt and texture.
02 - Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender.
