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 thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein pancake mix with water to form a smooth batter. Then add the cooked breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sugar-free maple syrup. Mix all the ingredients well to evenly distribute flavors.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the prepared batter into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-23 minutes, or until the McGriddle bites are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the McGriddle bites to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm with additional maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Use a high-quality protein pancake mix such as Kodiak for the best texture and nutritional boost.
- Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before mixing to avoid undercooked meat.
- Grease the muffin tin well or use a non-stick spray to easily remove bites after baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped herbs such as chives or parsley to the batter.
