Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups of any complete Pancake mix that just requires water
  • 1 1/3 cups of water
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs beaten.
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a muffin tin well. If you have a silicone muffin pan, they work really well for easily removing these muffins.
  • In a skillet, brown the breakfast sausage. Drain the grease from the meat and set it aside. Leave just enough grease in the bottom of the pan to scramble the eggs.
  • Cook the eggs over medium heat, breaking them up into less than bite-sized pieces as they cook. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix the pancake mix, water, syrup, salt and pepper. Stir in the sausage, eggs, and cheese.
  • Pour the mixture by scant 1/4 cups into your prepared muffin pan.
  • Bake at 400 Degrees for about 16-18 minutes or until the tops have nicely domed and browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool at least 5-6 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve with extra syrup for dipping. 

Notes

To freeze: Wrap each muffin in cling wrap and then place in a freezer bag. 
To reheat: Unwrap the muffin and place it in the microwave on high for 1 minute or until warmed through.
