Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing each cup.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly (5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease.
In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, cold water, and maple syrup. Stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the cooked sausage and cheddar cheese gently, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into greased muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
