Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 2 cups Hungry Jack Pancake Mix Any pancake mix can be used as per convenience.
  • 1.5 cups Water Follow package directions for quantities.
  • 1 lb Breakfast sausage Use mild or spicy depending on preference.
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese Sharp or mild according to taste.
  • 0.25 cups Maple syrup Plus extra for serving.

Method
 

Preheat and Prepare
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin pan well with cooking spray, butter, or line with paper liners.
Brown the Breakfast Sausage
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and brown the breakfast sausage for about 6–8 minutes until no pink remains.
  2. Drain excess grease on paper towels and set aside.
Mix the Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine pancake mix and water. Stir until combined, then fold in cooked sausage, cheese, and maple syrup.
Fill the Pan
  1. Using a spoon or scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about three-quarters full with batter. Press slightly to eliminate air pockets.
Bake Until Golden
  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Serve Warm
  1. Allow bites to cool for 2–3 minutes before lifting them out. Serve warm with maple syrup.
