McGriddle Bites are a delightful breakfast treat that combines savory sausage, melted cheddar cheese, and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup-infused pancake batter. These mini muffins pack big flavors with a spicy kick from diced jalapeños and a fresh burst from blueberries, making them a perfect finger food for busy mornings or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Mixture

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (regular pork sausage)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded from block
  • 1/4 cup diced jalapeños

Batter

  • 2 cups Hungry Jack Pancake Mix (only requires water)
  • 1 cup water (filtered or tap)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease to keep the bites from becoming too oily.
  3. Mix Batter: In a large bowl, combine the Hungry Jack Pancake Mix, water, and pure maple syrup. Stir gently until just combined to maintain a light batter.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Fold the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, and blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  5. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the greased mini muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the McGriddle Bites cool slightly in the pan before removing. Serve warm, with extra maple syrup on the side for dipping if desired.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, omit or reduce the amount of diced jalapeños.
  • Use pure maple syrup for the best authentic taste; pancake syrup can alter the flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bite, add extra blueberries or drizzle more maple syrup when serving.
  • Mini muffin tins yield bite-sized portions perfect for serving at brunch or as a quick breakfast on the go.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a microwave or oven before serving.
