Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Pancake Bites

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.

While the sausage cooks, crack the eggs into a separate small skillet. Season lightly with salt and pepper and scramble until just cooked. Set aside.

Once the sausage is cooked, drain off any excess grease and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and water. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Add the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup to the pancake batter.

Stir everything together until all the ingredients are evenly distributed in the batter.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Bake for 15-16 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm with extra maple syrup for dipping.
