McGriddle Bites
Simple and delicious McGriddle Bites that combine sausage and cheddar in a fluffy pancake base, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Batter Ingredients
- 2 cups complete pancake mix (just add water variety)
- 1.5 cups cold water
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup mild or sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- Non-stick cooking spray (for greasing the tin) for a non-stick finish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a mini muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray or use paper liners.
- Brown the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain the excess grease.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and cold water until the large lumps are gone.
- Stir in the maple syrup and shredded cheddar cheese into the pancake mixture.
- Gently fold in the cooked sausage crumbles using a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way to the top.
Baking
- Bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15-18 minutes.
- Allow the bites to rest in the pan for a few minutes before removing to ensure they stay intact.
Notes
These bites are freezer-friendly and can be reheated quickly in the microwave. Adjust ingredient substitutions as needed for dietary preferences.
