What is a McGriddle?

The Mc Griddle is a McDonald’s breakfast sandwich. The standard McGriddle consists of Bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese between maple-flavored pancakes. These muffin-tin McGriddles are the perfect size to satisfy your breakfast craving without heading to McDonald’s.  These homemade McGriddles are made with wholesome ingredients and have a delicious flavor!  These make the perfect quick breakfast!

You only need a few breakfast ingredients, a muffin pan, and 30 minutes to make these adorable muffin-sized homemade MC griddles. Kids will love these. I made these using sausage, but you can easily substitute Bacon, ham, or Canadian Bacon.

Ingredients

2 cups of pancake mix

1 1/4 cups of milk

Three tablespoons of maple syrup

Four eggs

1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese you like with a breakfast sandwich

1/2 pound of cooked savory sausage links or sausage patties cut into pieces. I recommend maple sausage. Any breakfast sausage will work.

More maple syrup for dipping

Optional: Salt and Pepper to taste.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes! If you have a gluten allergy, you can choose gluten-free sausage, bacon, and pancake mix. You can also use high-protein pancake mix to make them healthier.

Equipment

skillet for cooking sausage or Bacon

cooking spray for greasing muffin pan

12-cup muffin tin or mini muffin tin, or a silicone mini muffin pan 

Mixing Bowl 

Spatula 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees—Grease Muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.

2. In a bowl, mix the pancake mix, milk, eggs, and maple syrup. Whisk the batter until blended.

3. Gently stir in sausage pieces, cheese, and the other ingredients you are using.

4. Spray your muffin tin with cooking spray. PLEASE AVOID USING PAPER MUFFIN CUPS. Your muffins will stick to the paper if you use them in this recipe.

5. Add 1/4 cup of batter to each muffin or 3/4 if you use a mini muffin tin.

6. Bake in the oven for 23 minutes for regular-sized muffins and 11 minutes if using a mini muffin tin.

7. Remove the muffins from the oven. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them. Use a butter knife to “unstick” the sides of each muffin and pop them out.

8. Serve warm. You may want to use a mini spatula to remove the mini pancakes from the muffin tin.

Storage

You can store Mcgriddle bites in an airtight container or freezer bag in the fridge for up to 3 days, and they can be reheated in the microwave.  You can also freeze them; your leftovers will last longer than in the refrigerator.

These are perfect for breakfast, dinner, holiday brunch, or snacks!
