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.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the protein pancake mix with water to make the batter. Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sugar-free maple syrup, stirring until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 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 bites are golden brown on top and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the tin from the oven and allow the McGriddle Bites to cool slightly. Once cooled enough to handle, remove them from the tin. Serve warm, optionally with additional sugar-free maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the breakfast sausage is fully cooked before adding to the batter.
- Using a protein pancake mix like Kodiak adds extra nutritional value compared to regular pancake mix.
- You can substitute regular maple syrup for sugar-free if preferred, but this will increase sugar content.
- Use a non-stick spray or grease the muffin tin well to make removal easier.
- These bites can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated for a quick breakfast.
