Ingredients
Scale
Main 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 Fahrenheit (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the protein pancake mix with water to form a smooth batter. Stir in the cooked breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sugar-free maple syrup evenly until well blended.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the prepared batter into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for rising while baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 23 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through. You can check doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center— it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the McGriddle bites to cool slightly before carefully removing them. Serve warm with additional maple syrup if desired for a sweet touch.
Notes
- For best results, use a non-stick or greased muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Cook the breakfast sausage fully before mixing into the batter for food safety.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add-ins like chopped onions or peppers for extra flavor.
