For a spicier kick, use hot breakfast sausage. To make ahead, bake the muffins and freeze them. Reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to serve. Try different cheeses, like Gruyere or Monterey Jack, for a unique flavor profile. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter for a hint of heat.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by coating 36 cups with cooking spray or lining with paper liners. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and let the sausage cool slightly on paper towels. (10 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and water until smooth, ensuring no large lumps remain. Gently fold in the cooked sausage, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and maple syrup until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (5 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Carefully divide the mixture evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. (5 minutes)
05
Step
15 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (15 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
If desired, brush the tops of the warm muffins with melted butter for added richness. Serve immediately with additional maple syrup for dipping. (5 minutes)
