Bite-Sized Pancake Muffins

These Sausage Pancake Muffins are a family favorite! Bite-sized maple pancake muffins stuffed with sausage. They taste like a Sausage McGriddle! YUM! I like to whip up a couple of batches on Sunday morning and freeze the leftovers for a quick breakfast during the week. Give these a try ASAP! They are sure to be a hit.

How to Make Sausage Pancake Muffins

These muffins are super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir in sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line muffin cups with paper liners. Spoon pancake mix into each muffin cup. Place a piece of link sausage into the center of each muffin. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• Can use turkey sausage links or pork breakfast sausage links.
  • If you don’t like sausage, you can substitute bacon, ham, blueberries, or strawberries.
• For extra maple flavor, add a teaspoon of maple extract.
• Can pancake muffins be frozen? Yes! Bake the muffins and cool completely. Place the muffins in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
• For larger muffins, use a regular muffin pan and two or three pieces of sausage in each muffin. You will need to increase the baking time.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
