How to Make Pancake Turkey Sausage Bites

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—don’t overmix!

Step 3: Fill the Muffin Tin

Spoon a small amount of batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about halfway.

Step 4: Add the Sausage

Place a piece of turkey sausage into the center of each muffin cup, pressing it slightly into the batter.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the pancake bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Let the bites cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping!

Tips for the Best Pancake Turkey Sausage Bites

• Don’t Overmix the Batter – Mix just until the ingredients come together for fluffy bites.
• Use Pre-Cooked Sausages – Saves time and ensures they cook perfectly in the batter.
• Make It Sweeter – Add a little cinnamon or drizzle with honey.
• Make It Healthier – Use whole wheat flour or a milk alternative.

How to Store & Reheat

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Place in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
