Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 2 1/4 cups complete pancake mix (just add water type)
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Savory Filling
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin thoroughly, or use a silicone muffin pan for easier removal of the muffins after baking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess grease but leave a small amount in the pan to cook the eggs.
- Scramble Eggs: Using the retained grease in the skillet, cook the beaten eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently and breaking them into small bite-sized pieces. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Stir well to form a batter. Then gently fold in the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Pour the batter mixture by scant 1/4 cup portions into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each one.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven at 400°F for 16-18 minutes or until the tops have a nice dome, are browned, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-6 minutes before removing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using a silicone muffin pan makes it easier to remove muffins without sticking.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on the saltiness of your sausage.
- For a sweeter touch, you can drizzle additional maple syrup over the muffins before serving.
- These muffins freeze well – store in airtight containers and reheat in the oven or microwave.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your preferred cheese variety.
