Protein  McGriddle Muffins

This is a homemade version and a healthier version of McDonald's sausage egg mcgriddle sandwich.

Which I love but do not like to eat often. I make a batch, freeze them and pull them out of the freezer and microwave them for an on the way to work breakfast. 

1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage or sausage links, cooked and cut in bitesize pieces

3 TB maple syrup

1 1/4 c Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes mix, spooned and levelled

5 large eggs

1 1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar

1/3 c milk

Heat a pan to medium heat. Add sausage. Brown and crumble. Turn off the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Transfer sausage to a large mixing bowl. Let it cool to room temp, at least 5 minutes. 

Once sausage has reached room temperature, add pancake mix, eggs, cheese and milk. Stir to combine.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan. 

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until tops are set and lightly golden.
