1. Can I make McGriddle Bites ahead of time?

Yes! McGriddle Bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They also freeze well for longer storage. To reheat, simply microwave them for 30–60 seconds, depending on how many you’re warming up.

2. Can I use a regular muffin tin instead of a mini muffin tin?

Absolutely! If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin. Just be sure to adjust the baking time to about 18-20 minutes, as the larger muffins will take a bit longer to cook through.

3. Can I add eggs to the McGriddle Bites recipe?

Yes, you can add eggs to the recipe. If you want to add scrambled eggs, simply fold them into the batter before scooping it into the muffin tin. For a more fluffy texture, try adding 1-2 beaten eggs to the mix.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your mini muffin pan by greasing it or using a nonstick pan.
Cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain the grease thoroughly with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and water as per the instructions on the box. Stir until smooth.
Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and maple syrup until well combined.
Scoop the batter into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup slightly more than halfway.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the McGriddle Bites are golden brown on top.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with additional maple syrup for dipping, if desired.

Notes

If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin. Just adjust the cooking time to 18-20 minutes.
For a lighter version, you can substitute the pork sausage with turkey or chicken sausage.
McGriddle Bites are freezer-friendly! Store them in a zip-top bag and microwave them for 30-60 seconds to reheat.
For a dairy-free option, substitute the cheddar cheese with dairy-free cheese and ensure the pancake mix is dairy-free as well.
