Ingredients
1 cup ground breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Let cool slightly.
3. In a bowl, combine the pancake mix, egg, and milk. Stir until just combined.
4. Fold in maple syrup and shredded cheddar, if using.
5. Add the cooked sausage to the batter and mix gently to distribute evenly.
6. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool slightly in the tin before removing. Serve warm with syrup if desired.
Notes
Use pre-cooked sausage to save time on busy mornings.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
These freeze beautifully—just microwave before serving.
