# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
16 ounces (453 g) breakfast sausage
→ Batter
02 -
2 cups Hungry Jack pancake mix
03 -
1 1/2 cups water
04 -
1/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
05 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Generously grease a mini muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray; set aside to cool slightly.
02 -
In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, break up and brown breakfast sausage until no pink remains. Transfer cooked sausage to a plate lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, water, and maple syrup. Gently stir until just incorporated; avoid overmixing.
04 -
Fold shredded cheddar cheese and browned sausage into the batter until evenly distributed.
05 -
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and serve warm with additional maple syrup for dipping if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Stir batter only until ingredients are combined to maintain tender texture; overmixing can result in dense bites.

Bites may be refrigerated or frozen for later; reheat as needed.
