Description

McGriddle Bites are sweet and savory beef sausage muffins inspired by the classic breakfast sandwich. Made with fluffy pancake mix, juicy beef sausage, maple syrup, and melty cheddar cheese, these bite-sized muffins are perfect for quick mornings, meal prep, or on-the-go breakfasts.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups Hungry Jack Pancake Mix (water-only type)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced jalapeños
  • Optional: 1/2 cup blueberries


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef breakfast sausage until fully browned. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, mix pancake mix, water, and maple syrup until just combined.
  4. Fold in cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and optional add-ins if using.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and set in the center.
  7. Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • These muffins freeze well for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
  • For a sweeter version, skip jalapeños and add blueberries only.
