Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for McGriddle Muffins
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Scramble the eggs in the same skillet until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
  5. Fold in the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 16-18 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5-6 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Customize the muffins with different sausage or cheese varieties. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature, or freeze for up to 3 months.
