Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, milk, and egg until smooth.
- Fold in the crumbled sausage and maple syrup.
- If desired, add shredded cheese to the mixture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour small amounts of the batter onto the skillet to form bite-sized pancakes.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve warm with additional maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Use your favorite pancake mix – buttermilk, complete, or protein pancake mix all work well.
- For a healthier version, use turkey sausage and whole wheat pancake mix.
- Make a large batch and freeze leftovers in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a toaster oven for crispy edges.
- Add cooked bacon bits or diced ham along with the sausage for extra protein.
- For a sweeter version, add 2 tablespoons of additional maple syrup to the batter.
- Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- For mini McGriddle sliders, make slightly larger bites and sandwich a small sausage patty between two pancake bites.
