Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For Serving

  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.
  3. Add Sausage and Cheese: Fold in the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage along with the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Assemble and Butter: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top to help create a golden crust during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with additional maple syrup if desired for a balanced sweet and savory flavor.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked sausage links chopped into pieces instead of crumbled sausage.
  • For a spicier version, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or swap in pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.
  • This bake is excellent for meal prep as it reheats well throughout the week.
