Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) while you prepare your mini muffin tin by greasing it.
In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage for about 5-7 minutes until fully browned.
In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, and maple syrup; gently stir until just combined.
Add your cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese to the batter and fold together.
Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let them cool slightly in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
