The McGriddle was introduced by McDonald's in 2003, quickly becoming a favorite for its unique combination of sweet and savory flavors. The concept of using pancakes as a bun was revolutionary, allowing breakfast lovers to experience the joy of syrup-soaked goodness in every bite. With a fluffy texture and the perfect balance of flavors, McGriddles transformed the breakfast landscape and inspired countless adaptations, including our Mini McGriddle Bites.

Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Bites:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup (for flavoring)

For the Filling:

8 ounces breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

4 large eggs, scrambled

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

    Create Mini Pancake Bites: Preheat a non-stick mini muffin pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. Pour about 1 tablespoon of pancake batter into each muffin cup or directly onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used, keeping the mini pancakes warm.

      Make the Filling: In a skillet, scramble the eggs until fully cooked and set aside. In the same pan, add the crumbled sausage and cook until heated through.

        Assemble the McGriddle Bites: Take one mini pancake and layer a spoonful of scrambled eggs, some crumbled sausage, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top. Drizzle a small amount of maple syrup over the cheese, and then top with another mini pancake to create a sandwich.

          Serve: Arrange the assembled Mini McGriddle Bites on a serving platter. Drizzle additional maple syrup on top and serve warm.
