Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (crumbled)

• 2 cups pancake mix

• 1½ cups water

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ¼ cup maple syrup

• Chopped herbs (e.g., chives or parsley)

• Spices (e.g., cinnamon or black pepper)

• Diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers or onions)

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.

2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

3. Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix and water, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy bites.

4. Add Ingredients: Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and maple syrup into the batter until evenly distributed.

5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about ¾ full.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm, optionally with additional maple syrup for dipping.
