High Protein McGriddle bites

Treat yourself to guilt-free breakfast bliss with our Protein McGriddle Bites recipe. Marrying the irresistible flavors of savory sausage, melted cheddar, and sweet maple syrup in convenient, protein-packed muffin form.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked
• 2 cups protein pancake mix, such as Kodiak
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


HOW TO MAKE
1 Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
2 Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, prepare the pancake batter according to the instructions on the package. Typically, this involves mixing the pancake mix with water until smooth. You can also add a scoop of protein powder if desired.

1 Assemble the McGriddle Bites: Add in the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese and maple syrup to bowl. Mix until combined. Spoon pancake batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 way up.
2 Bake in the Oven: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the McGriddle bites are golden brown and cooked through. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin – it should come out clean when they’re ready.
3 Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the McGriddle bites to cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove them from the muffin tin and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve warm with a side of maple syrup for dipping or drizzling if desired.
