How to Make Sausage Pancake Muffins

These muffins are super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir in sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line muffin cups with paper liners. Spoon pancake mix into each muffin cup. Place a piece of link sausage into the center of each muffin. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can use turkey sausage links or pork breakfast sausage links.
    • If you don’t like sausage, you can substitute bacon, ham, blueberries, or strawberries.
  • For extra maple flavor, add a teaspoon of maple extract.
  • Can pancake muffins be frozen? Yes! Bake the muffins and cool completely. Place the muffins in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • For larger muffins, use a regular muffin pan and two or three pieces of sausage in each muffin. You will need to increase the baking time.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
