Pancake Sausage Bites Breakfast (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry ingredients

01 - Pancake mix

→ Protein

02 - Breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked until no pink remains

→ Dairy

03 - Shredded cheddar cheese

→ Liquids

04 - Water
05 - Maple syrup, for mixing and serving

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, crumbling with a spatula as it cooks, for about 10 minutes or until no pink remains. Set aside.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine pancake mix and water. Stir well, but avoid overmixing to maintain fluffy texture.
04 - Fold cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and maple syrup into the pancake batter until just combined.
05 - Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the batter into each opening of a mini muffin pan.
06 - Bake the bites for 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Continue baking with the remaining batter until you have about 48 mini pancake bites. Serve warm with maple syrup on the side for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before incorporating it into the batter. The short baking time is insufficient to cook raw sausage thoroughly.
