Usually every weekend, Hubbyman makes a big breakfast for us. He loves doing it (and I love that he loves to do it). We usually have pancakes or hashbrowns with either bacon or sausage. Well, this past weekend, Hubbyman was out hunting, so I was on my own for the big weekend breakfast. I needed something the kids would love and something that was fairly quick and easy. Enter my new favorite breakfast…Sausage Pancake Muffins!
Jimmy Dean is our go-to for breakfast sausage! We’ve been eating it for years, so I was super excited to be asked to participate in their recipe contest using their new Jimmy Dean Crumbles! The crumbles come in three flavors: original, turkey, and spicy.
Since it was just me and the kids this weekend, I opted for the original pork sausage crumbles! They tasted just like I had cooked up a fresh batch of sausage…but there was less clean up and since they were pre-cooked it took less time to assemble the muffins.
Seriously, y’all! These sausage pancake muffins couldn’t get much easier. Okay…well, perhaps if you use a box pancake mix which you totally could do {I won’t tell anyone if you do}. I happened to make mine gluten, dairy, and egg free…but you don’t have to go super crazy like that if you don’t need to. If you need a great pancake recipe, give this one a try…it has a regular and gf version!
I love how the muffins turned out with a distinct layer of sausage in the middle of my gluten free pancakes, but you could certainly mix them in if you prefer. It all works!!!
Save Recipe- 1 pancake recipe that makes about 14 pancakes, prepared but not cooked
- 1 package Jimmy Dean Original Sausage Crumbles
- maple syrup
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Prepare pancake recipe according to recipe or package instructions. Spoon a dollop of batter into the bottom of each muffin tin, spread to cover the bottom of each tin. Top with 1-2 tbls of sausage crumbles. Spoon another dollop or two of pancake batter on the top, making sure the sausage is all covered with batter. (Note: If using gluten free batter, you will need to spread it out with a couple spoons so that it covers nicely.)
