Step-by-Step Instructions for McGriddle Bites

Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and grease a mini muffin tin.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, water, and maple syrup. Stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter.
Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden-brown. Perform a toothpick test.
Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with extra maple syrup.
