Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and grease a mini muffin tin with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage for about 5-7 minutes until browned and crumbled.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix with water and maple syrup until just combined.
Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the pancake batter.
Fill each muffin cup in the greased tin about three-quarters full with the batter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for about 5 minutes before removing the McGriddle Bites from the tin.
