Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked
- 2 cups protein pancake mix (such as Kodiak)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein pancake mix and water to create the batter. Then stir in the cooked breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sugar-free maple syrup until evenly mixed.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 23 minutes or until the McGriddle bites are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bites cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm with additional maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before mixing into the batter to avoid undercooked meat.
- Using sugar-free maple syrup keeps the bites lower in sugar while maintaining flavor.
- You can customize these bites by adding chopped herbs or spices to the batter for extra flavor.
- Allow bites to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin to maintain their shape.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
