Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage Regular pork sausage works best
  • 2 cups Hungry Jack Pancake Mix Make sure it only requires water
  • 1 cup water Filtered or tap
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Pure maple syrup preferred
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese Shredded from block cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced jalapeños Adds a spicy kick
  • 1/2 cup blueberries For a fruity contrast

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a bowl, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the pancake mix, water, and maple syrup until just combined.
  4. Fold in the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and blueberries until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop the batter into your greased muffin tin, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let them cool slightly before removing them from the tin.

Notes

Best enjoyed warm with a drizzle of extra maple syrup or a dollop of butter. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
