What are Mini Pancake Sausage Bites All About?

Mini Pancake Sausage Bites are little breakfast muffins of pancake batter and savory sausage, golden brown and soft. They taste like every sweet pancake with a little sausage surprise in every savory piece. They are a little bit like between pancake and sausage link, but very easy to consume, even better, freezer-friendly.

How to Make Mini Pancake Sausage Bites

The oven should be heated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius. Grease or line a mini muffin tin.
Mix drops of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine milk with egg, melted butter, and vanilla into a homogeneous mass; this will be the third.
Pour and add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
Add the sausage bits that you’ve cooked.
Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin, about 3/4 full in each cup.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden and the toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before serving.
