Mini Loaded Breakfast Pancake Bites
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups boxed pancake mix
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage
- 1/2 lb bacon
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Cook your bacon and sausage. I prefer to bake the bacon on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. While that is cooking, brown the breakfast sausage in a pan. Drain the grease really well from both. Chop the bacon and set both aside.
- Mix pancake mix with water according to the directions on the box.
- Stir in cooked sausage, bacon, cheese, and syrup.
- Pour into two mini muffin pans. If you are not using silicone muffin pans, I would grease them first.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes.
- This made 48 mini pancake muffins. Dip in more syrup and enjoy! Let me know if you try it out!
Notes
- My family likes to use mild pork sausage for this recipe, but you could also use chicken or turkey sausage.
- Make sure to cook the breakfast sausage and bacon first and drain it well with a paper towel!
- I like the texture and flavor of freshly shredded Colby Jack better, so we buy blocks of cheese and shred it at home every week!
- Shredded cheddar cheese would also be good in this recipe if you don't have Colby Jack.
- I like to use a silicone muffin pan from Amazon to make these so I do not spray the pan with cooking spray. If you are using a pan that isn't silicone, it would be best to grease it ahead of time!
- We always keep a bag of these in the freezer and to reheat them it just takes about a minute in the microwave.
- If you want the pancake bites to look more loaded you can save some of the bacon, sausage, and cheese and top each one before baking them. This is optional and not necessary, though! It is definitely easier to just mix in all of the toppings and bake them!
- This recipe makes 48 mini pancake bites.
