Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Hungry Jack Pancake Mix
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Other Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Brown the sausage: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain the excess grease thoroughly and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the pancake batter: Mix the Hungry Jack Pancake Mix with 1 1/2 cups of water according to package directions to create a smooth batter.
- Combine ingredients: Stir the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup maple syrup into the prepared pancake batter until evenly distributed.
- Bake the bites: Grease a mini muffin pan to prevent sticking, then pour the batter mixture evenly into the muffin cups. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 12–15 minutes until the bites are puffed and golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the McGriddle Bites from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve them warm with additional maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Drain the sausage grease thoroughly to avoid greasy bites.
- Grease the mini muffin pan well to ensure easy removal.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven and muffin pan size.
- For a spicier version, consider using a spicy breakfast sausage or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
