Ingredients
- Breakfast sausage (or ground turkey/beef sausage)
- Pancake mix (or flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt for from-scratch)
- Whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
- Eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
- Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of choice)
- Maple syrup (or sugar-free syrup/honey)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and brown the sausage until it’s fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and eggs. Stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour half of the pancake batter into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the batter and add a layer of cheese on top.
- Pour the rest of the pancake batter over the sausage and cheese, covering it completely.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the casserole cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup before slicing into squares and serving warm.
