Ingredients
2 cups pancake mix
1 1/2 cups water (or milk for different variations)
1 lb breakfast sausage (mild pork, chicken, or turkey sausage are options)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (freshly shredded preferred)
1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
1-First, brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it’s fully cooked, then drain the grease well using a paper towel to keep things from getting too oily.
2-Next, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking.
3-In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 1/2 cups of water (or milk) following the package directions to make the batter.
4-Add the cooked sausage, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup maple syrup to the batter, and stir until everything is fully mixed.
5-Spoon the batter into mini muffin pans, filling each one about halfway; this should give you around 48 mini muffins.
6-Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
7-Finally, let them cool a bit and serve warm with extra syrup for dipping to enhance that sweet-savory vibe.
