Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Kodiak pancake mix (or other protein pancake mix)
- 1 lb ground sausage, browned and crumbled
- 2 cups milk (try Fairlife for extra protein)
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Colby jack)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a mini muffin tin well to ensure our muffins slide right out after baking.
- Whisk together the Kodiak pancake mix, milk, eggs, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in the crumbled cooked sausage and shredded cheese gently, ensuring even distribution.
- Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the prepared batter.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the muffins are golden and firm to the touch.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the batter. Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
