Homemade McGriddle Muffins combine the sweet flavors of maple-infused pancake buns with savory breakfast sausage and melted cheddar cheese for a delicious and customizable breakfast sandwich. Ready in under 30 minutes, this recipe offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors with fresh ingredients, ideal for busy mornings or weekend brunches.


Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Buns

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Sandwich Filling

  • 4 breakfast sausage patties
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pancake Buns: In a mixing bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, milk, egg, maple syrup, and optionally vanilla extract until smooth. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Using a spoon or ladle, pour batter into 3-4 inch rounds. Cook until bubbles form and edges set (2-3 minutes), flip and cook until golden. Remove and set aside.
  2. Cook the Sausage Patties: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage patties and cook thoroughly until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place one pancake bun on a clean surface, top with a slice of cheddar cheese, then a hot sausage patty to allow cheese to melt slightly. Cover with another pancake bun to form the sandwich.
  4. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm for the best gooey cheese and soft pancake buns experience.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to prevent burning pancakes and sausage.
  • Don’t skip the maple syrup for authentic McGriddle sweetness.
  • Wrap sandwiches in foil and warm briefly in a low oven for perfect melted cheese.
  • Use fresh sausage and quality cheese for best flavor.
  • Adjust the size of muffins to suit snacks or fuller breakfasts.
