How to Make It

Let’s get baking!

Preheat and Grease

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin. This ensures your bites come out easily and have a nice, golden crust.

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, mix the pancake mix and water until well combined. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth batter.

Fold in Add-ins

Fold in the cooked sausage and cheese, if using. This will enhance the flavor of your pancake bites.

Fill Muffin Tins

Pour the batter into the mini muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Avoid overfilling to allow space for rising.

Bake

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.

Cool Slightly

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle.

Serve

Serve warm with syrup, if desired, or allow to cool and freeze for later. Enjoy your delicious bites!
