Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Base
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage Provides a robust savory flavor; swap for turkey sausage for a lighter version.
  • 2 cups Hungry Jack Pancake Mix Ensures a fluffy texture; choose a mix that only needs water for easy prep.
  • 1 cup water Both filtered or tap water work perfectly.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Using pure maple syrup elevates the flavor.
For the Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded from block) Contributes creaminess; try pepper jack or gouda for added zing.
  • 1/4 cup diced jalapeños Introduces a spicy note; perfect for those who love a kick.
  • 1/2 cup blueberries Adds a hint of sweetness and a fruit contrast to the savory bites.

Equipment

  • mini muffin tin
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

How to Make McGriddle Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the breakfast sausage until it's browned and crumbled (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, and maple syrup. Stir gently until just combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and check doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let the muffins cool slightly in the tin before removing. Enjoy warm with an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired!
