Mini McGriddle Bites are a fun and easy breakfast treat that combines fluffy pancake batter with savory breakfast sausage and melty cheddar cheese, all tied together with a touch of sweetness from pure maple syrup. Perfect bite-sized snacks for mornings on the go or family brunches.

Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 2 cups pancake mix (e.g., Bisquick or similar)
  • 1 ½ cups water

Fillings

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Serving

  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Make the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and water. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain fluffy texture.
  3. Assemble McGriddle Bites: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease if needed. Pour a small spoonful of pancake batter to form mini pancakes approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
  4. Add Filling: Before the pancake sets, sprinkle some crumbled sausage and shredded cheddar cheese on top, then cover with a little more pancake batter to encase the filling within the pancake.
  5. Cook Both Sides: Cook the mini pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
  6. Serve with Maple Syrup: Remove the mini McGriddle bites from the griddle and serve warm with pure maple syrup for drizzling or dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the sausage is cooked fully before adding it to the pancake for food safety.
  • Use a small ladle or spoon to control the size of mini pancakes for even cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time depending on your stove and griddle heat for perfect golden brown bites.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or fruit syrup as per preference.
