Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Hungry Jack Pancake Mix
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden spoon
  • Mini Muffin Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit so it is nice and hot when you are ready to bake.
  2. Place the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage until it is cooked through, then drain the grease very well using paper towels.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and water. Stir according to the package instructions until a smooth batter forms.

  5. Prepare a mini muffin pan. If you are not using a silicone pan, be sure to grease it with a little oil or cooking spray. Use a small spoon to scoop the batter into the cups, filling each one slightly over halfway.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top. This recipe makes approximately 48 mini muffins.

Notes

Use a silicone mini muffin pan to ensure the muffins pop out easily without the need for extra grease. Leftovers freeze exceptionally well for up to three months and can be reheated in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
