Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and grease a mini muffin tin.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, water, and maple syrup. Stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the cooked sausage and cheese into the batter without overmixing.
Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown; check with a toothpick for doneness.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove them from the tin.
