Mini Sausage Pancake Muffins
These mini sausage pancake muffins are a great combination of sweet and savory. They're as good for special occasion breakfasts as they are to freeze for a grab-and-go anytime breakfast.
Ingredient
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 2 cups pancake mix
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, or as needed (optional)
Direction
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to drain and cool slightly on paper towels.
- Stir together pancake mix and water in a bowl until smooth. Add sausage, cheese, chives, and maple syrup and fold the mixture until well combined. Divide mixture among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Brush with melted butter and serve with maple syrup for dipping.
