McGriddle Muffins

Well my wife will tell me that I cannot eat these now but still thought I would share it anyway.  It is an easy breakfast to take on the go!  I found this recipe on Facebook but it comes from Recipe Flame.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground sausage
• 2 cups pancake mix
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Cooking spray (for greasing muffin tins)

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it’s browned and cooked through.
• Break it into small crumbles while cooking.
• Once done, set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, maple syrup, and shredded cheese. 
• Stir the ingredients until well combined, creating a thick batter.
• Add the cooked sausage crumbles into the pancake batter. 
• Gently fold the sausage into the batter until evenly distributed.
• Lightly grease the muffin tins with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Spoon the sausage and pancake batter mixture into the muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
• Place the muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow them to cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated as needed. 

Serve them with extra maple syrup, if desired.
