McGriddle Bites
Description
This recipe mixes pancake batter with cheddar cheese, maple syrup, and crumbled cooked breakfast sausage. Baking the mixture in mini muffin tins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit produces small, handheld bites combining the fluffy texture of pancakes with a cheesy, meaty filling. The maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness that complements the savory sausage.
The bakes develop golden tops and hold their shape, making them practical for breakfast or brunch. The cheese melts throughout, providing creamy pockets, while the sausage adds hearty flavor. The muffin tin format ensures even cooking and convenient portion control.
These bites can be served warm as a snack or part of a larger breakfast spread. Variations in sausage types or cheeses allow adaptation to personal taste preferences, making them versatile.
Use spicy or maple-flavored sausage to alter the flavor profile. Pre-cooked sausage links may be chopped and added directly. Choose your favorite cheese variety for different textures and tastes. Silicone muffin tins ease baking, but greasing or lining metal tins works as well.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pancake mix complete
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium frying pan over medium high heat brown and crumble your breakfast sausage.
- Once your sausage is cooked through, drain and set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl whisk together your pancake mix, water, cheese and syrup until well combined.
- Stir in the cooked sausage.
- Spoon your batter into mini muffin tins. I use silicone but if using metal either spray your mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Notes
- Use spicy sausage to add heat to the bites.
- Maple-flavored sausage enhances sweetness complementing the pancake and syrup.
- Precooked sausage links can be chopped and used after warming instead of raw sausage.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar with your preferred cheese for variety.
