Maple Pancake Sausage Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups Hungry Jack pancake mix
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 12 ct fully cooked pork sausage links
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line two mini muffin pans with liners or grease them well.

In a medium bowl, whisk the pancake mix and water until just combined; a few small lumps are fine. Fold in the shredded cheddar and maple syrup.
-
Spoon the batter evenly into the mini muffin cups.
-
Cut each sausage link into quarters. Press one piece of sausage into the center of each muffin cup so it sits slightly into the batter.
-
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly browned and set. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
