Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups pancake mix
- 1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup syrup
- Butter, for topping
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb of breakfast sausage until fully browned. Drain excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Pancake Mix: Follow the instructions on the pancake mix box to prepare the batter base.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir the browned sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and syrup into the prepared pancake batter until everything is evenly combined.
- Prepare Sheet Pan: Generously spray a sheet pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Spread Batter: Pour the combined pancake batter onto the sheet pan and spread it evenly into a uniform layer using a spatula.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pancake is cooked through and golden on top.
- Serve: Remove from oven, top with butter and additional syrup as desired, then cut into squares and enjoy your savory sheet pan pancakes!
Notes
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Feel free to add diced onions or bell peppers to the batter for added flavor and texture.
- Make sure to drain the sausage well to avoid excess grease in the batter.
- If you prefer sweeter pancakes, increase the syrup added to the batter or serve with extra syrup.
- Use a non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease the sheet pan to prevent sticking and aid easy cleanup.
- Check the pancake for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
