Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups high-protein pancake mix (Kodiak or similar)
- 1 cup fully cooked breakfast sausage crumbles (turkey or pork)
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar-free maple extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- If using uncooked sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and browned. Drain any excess fat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the high-protein pancake mix and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, combine egg whites, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and optional maple extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the cooked sausage crumbles.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve warm with maple syrup or fresh fruit. You can experiment with different types of milk or sausage alternatives to suit your taste.
