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 to ensure the McGriddle bites do not stick.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the protein pancake mix with water to prepare the batter. Then stir in the cooked breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sugar-free maple syrup until fully incorporated.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-23 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the McGriddle bites to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm with additional maple syrup if desired for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure the breakfast sausage is fully cooked before mixing into the batter to avoid raw meat.
- Use a non-stick or greased muffin tin to help with easy removal of the bites.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Optionally, add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
