Description

This Easy Pancake Sausage Breakfast Bake is a delicious and hearty one-dish breakfast that combines savory sausage with fluffy pancake batter, enhanced with a touch of cinnamon and maple syrup. Perfect for family breakfasts or brunch gatherings, it’s simple to prepare and bakes to a golden, cheesy perfection.


Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Mixture

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken)

Batter

  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Cooking spray (for greasing the baking dish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon until it is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
  3. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and maple syrup until you achieve a smooth, consistent batter.
  4. Combine Sausage and Batter: Stir the cooked sausage into the pancake batter until evenly distributed throughout. Then fold in shredded cheddar cheese if you choose to use it.
  5. Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the combined batter and sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top to add richness and help with browning.
  6. Bake the Breakfast Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating that it is fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm with extra maple syrup for drizzling.

Notes

  • You can substitute any type of breakfast sausage including pork, turkey, or chicken based on preference.
  • Use or omit the shredded cheddar cheese depending on your taste or dietary needs.
  • Cinnamon adds warmth and depth but is optional.
  • Make sure to drain the cooked sausage well to avoid excess grease in the bake.
  • Maple syrup enhances sweetness; consider using pure maple syrup for best flavor.
