Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Hungry Jack Pancake Mix
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Other Ingredients
- 12 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of Hungry Jack Pancake Mix with 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir until the batter is smooth and well mixed according to the directions on the pancake mix box. Next, fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of maple syrup evenly throughout the batter to add a rich, cheesy, and sweet flavor.
- Prepare Sausage Pieces: Cut each fully cooked breakfast sausage link into 4 bite-sized pieces. This will yield approximately 48 sausage pieces, matching the number of mini muffin cups to be filled.
- Fill Mini Muffin Pans: Lightly grease mini muffin pans to prevent sticking. Fill each mini muffin cup about halfway with the prepared pancake batter. Then, place one piece of sausage into each cup, pressing it slightly into the batter to ensure it stays in place during baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Place the filled mini muffin pans on the center rack of the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pancake bites are puffed up, golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Serve: Carefully remove the sausage pancake bites from the mini muffin pans and transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm with additional maple syrup for dipping as desired. Enjoy these bite-sized treats for breakfast or brunch!
Notes
- Make sure the sausage links are fully cooked before assembling to ensure safe consumption.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese such as mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- Mini muffin pans typically hold about 48 pieces; adjusting pan size will affect baking time slightly.
- For a spicier option, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños to the batter.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster oven or microwave.
