Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and grease your mini muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage for 5-7 minutes until browned and crumbly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, water, and maple syrup, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Fill each cup of the greased mini muffin tin about three-quarters full with batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes before gently removing them from the tin.
