These McGriddle Muffins are a delicious homemade twist on the classic McDonald’s breakfast sandwich. Combining fluffy pancake mix with savory breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and a hint of maple syrup, these muffins bake to golden perfection, making them a perfect grab-and-go breakfast or brunch option.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Mix

  • 2 1/4 cups pancake mix (complete mix that just requires water)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 4 eggs, beaten

Other Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and generously grease a muffin tin. Using a silicone muffin pan can help in easily removing the muffins after baking.
  2. Brown the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage thoroughly until browned. Drain excess grease, leaving just enough in the skillet for cooking the eggs.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Using the leftover grease in the pan, scramble the beaten eggs over medium heat, breaking them into small pieces. Once cooked, set aside.
  4. Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Stir until just combined, then fold in the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly.
  5. Fill Muffin Tins: Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup just below the top (around 1/4 cup per muffin).
  6. Bake the Muffins: Bake at 400°F for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins have domed, turn golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-6 minutes before carefully removing. Serve with extra maple syrup for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • Using a silicone muffin pan helps in removing the muffins easily without sticking.
  • Drain excess grease from sausage to avoid overly greasy muffins.
  • Ensure eggs are fully cooked before adding to batter to avoid undercooked egg bits.
  • These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a microwave.
  • For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
