McGriddle Breakfast Muffins

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound sausage
2 cups pancake mix
1 and 1/2 cups water

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cook the sausage in a skillet until browned and crumbled.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, maple syrup, and shredded cheese. Stir in the cooked sausage until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about three quarters full. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and set. Let them cool slightly before removing from the pan and serving warm.
