Description
These High-Protein Pancake Sausage Muffins are a savory, protein-packed breakfast option perfect for meal prep. With the comforting flavors of pancakes, sausage, eggs, and cheese in a muffin-sized portion, they’re ideal for busy mornings or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 ¼ cups milk (whole milk or unsweetened almond milk)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 cups Kodiak Cakes pancake mix (or any high-protein mix)
1 cup chopped spinach (optional)
1 cup cooked sausage, chopped (chicken, turkey, or pork)
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment or silicone liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and maple syrup until combined.
Add the pancake mix, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Fold in the chopped spinach, sausage, and shredded cheese.
Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375°F and bake an additional 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy immediately or store for later.
Notes
You can substitute the sausage with chopped ham, turkey bacon, or plant-based sausage.
Use Swiss or Havarti for a different cheese profile.
Add diced bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and texture.
To freeze, cool completely and store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
