Servings: ~12 standard muffins
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
Total Time: ~25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground breakfast sausage

• 2 cups pancake mix (any brand or protein mix like Kodiak)

• 1 ½ cups water

• ¼ cup maple syrup (pure or flavored)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease or line a muffin tin.

2. Cook Sausage:
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed, then let it cool slightly.

3. Mix Batter:
   In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, water, maple syrup, and shredded cheese. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.

4. Add Sausage:
   Fold the cooked sausage into the pancake batter until evenly distributed.

5. Fill Muffin Tins:
   Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

6. Bake:
   Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool & Store:
   Let muffins cool slightly before removing. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days—or freeze for longer shelf life.

To Reheat:

• Microwave for 20–30 seconds for a quick, hot breakfast on busy mornings.
