    If you’ve ever craved the savory-sweet goodness of fast food McGriddles but want a homemade alternative, this Sausage McGriddle Muffin recipe is just what you need! Packed with the smoky flavor of breakfast sausage, melty cheddar cheese, and that signature maple syrup touch, these bite-sized treats combine everything we love about breakfast into one convenient mini muffin. The best part? They’re so simple to whip up using pantry staples like pancake mix and a few other ingredients. This easy recipe is great for busy mornings, make-ahead meal prepping, or even a grab-and-go snack. You’ll want this one in your rotation year-round.

    Sausage McGriddle Muffin

    Ingredients List

    Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll need to get started:

    • 2 cups of complete pancake mix – You can’t beat the convenience of ready-to-go pancake mix.
    • 1 ½ cups of water – This helps create the batter.
    • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded) – Adds a savory and cheesy element.
    • ¼ cup maple syrup – This gives the mix that classic McGriddle sweetness.
    • 1 pound of breakfast sausage – Choose your favorite variety; I like something with a little bit of spice.

    Preparing Your Sausage McGriddle Muffins

    Now that we have all the ingredients ready, it’s time to start on the fun part – making these delicious little bites. This recipe is simple and comes together in no time, making it ideal for anyone who’s short on time but craving a homemade breakfast treat.

    Preparing Your Sausage McGriddle Muffins

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Preheat Your Oven

    Start by preheating your oven to 400°F . It’s important to let the oven reach the correct temperature so that your muffins bake evenly and come out golden brown.

    2. Cook the Sausage

    In a medium frying pan , cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage over medium-high heat. Break the sausage up as it browns so that it crumbles into small pieces—that way, those savory bits are evenly distributed throughout each muffin. Once your sausage is fully cooked (i.e., no longer pink), drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.

    3. Mix the Pancake Batter

    While your sausage is cooling, you can prepare your pancake batter. In a large mixing bowl , whisk together the pancake mix, water, shredded cheddar cheese , and maple syrup . Keep whisking until everything is blended and smooth. You’re aiming for a slightly thick but pourable batter.

    4. Fold in the Sausage

    After the sausage is cooled, fold it into the batter. Stir gently to ensure the sausage is evenly distributed but be careful not to overmix.

    Now that your batter is ready, let’s move on to baking these delicious muffins.

    Step-by-Step Process:

    5. Prepare the Muffin Tin

    If you’re using a metal mini muffin tin , make sure to either spray it with non-stick cooking spray or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking. If you have a silicone muffin tray , you can skip this step since those usually don’t require additional greasing.

    6. Spoon the Batter

    Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each muffin cup with the pancake and sausage batter. Fill them about ¾ full , as the muffins will puff up while baking. This ensures you get perfectly sized muffins without overflow. If you get around 24 mini muffins, you’re doing it right!

    7. Bake

    Slide the muffin tin into the preheated 400°F oven. Let your Sausage McGriddle Muffins bake for 12-15 minutes . You’ll know they’re done when they turn a golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Tip : Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to make sure they don’t overbrown!

    8. Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before popping them out. They’re best when served warm, so dig in and enjoy that perfect blend of savory sausage, melty cheese, and sweet maple syrup.

    Serving Suggestions

    Your Sausage McGriddle Muffins are delicious straight out of the oven, and they pair well with a variety of sides!

    • Maple Syrup Dipping : Serve these with a little extra maple syrup on the side for dipping if you’re a fan of extra sweetness.
    • Fruits : They make a great pairing with a fresh side of fruit like berries or orange slices to add a pop of color and brightness to your breakfast.
    • Eggs : If you’re making this for brunch, consider whipping up some scrambled eggs on the side for a complete meal.

    Whether you’re serving them to friends and family or grabbing one on your way out for a quick breakfast, these muffins are sure to satisfy.

    Storage Instructions

    Fridge:

    If you have leftovers (which I doubt will happen!), store the muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days . To reheat, just pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes .

    Freezer:

    Want to make a big batch and store some for later? No problem! These muffins freeze beautifully. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container , and they’ll keep well for up to 1 month . When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight and reheat as you would from the fridge.

    Conclusion

    These homemade Sausage McGriddle Muffins are a breakfast game-changer! With the combination of hearty sausage, cheesy goodness, and a hint of sweetness from maple syrup, every bite feels like a warm comforting hug. Best of all, they’re ridiculously easy to make, and you can store them for busy mornings or even a quick snack.

    Once you try these, I’m sure they’ll become a staple in your breakfast routine. The next time you’re craving the ultimate sweet-and-savory combo, you’ll know exactly what to bake. Get ready for the compliments that will flood in after your family or friends try these! 😋
