These delicious breakfast sausage bites will impress even your pickiest eaters!

“What am I going to make for breakfast” she says for the 10,000th time. It always seems to be the same. Cereal, oatmeal, toast, repeat. Does this sound familiar? If so, I have the perfect breakfast recipe that will get you out of your breakfast food rut. I promise this is the most delicious combo of sausage and pancakes ever. It will soon be your family’s favorite breakfast!

Pancake Sausage Balls are a quick and easy breakfast that kids and adults will love! They are great for special occasions and a casual morning at home.

Are you ready to get started? You probably already have most of the ingredients at home including pancake mix, breakfast sausage meat, milk, and some shredded cheese. It takes only 5 minuets to prep this easy recipe and 20 minutes to bake the sausage balls. So in less than 30 minutes, you’ll have a happy family with full bellies.

Pancake sausage balls dipped in syrup make the best breakfast ever. This sausage bite recipe is so simple with just 4 ingredients you may already have at home. Make a double batch and freeze some for those busy mornings when you need a quick breakfast idea.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (uncooked)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Plus some syrup or jelly for dipping

Comfort food for breakfast! Make these pancake sausage balls for your next sleepover, holiday, or family gathering. So yummy and easy to make with pancake mix, sausage, cheddar cheese, and milk.

How To Make Pancake Sausage Balls

  1. Add pancake mix, uncooked breakfast sausage, shredded cheese, and milk into a mixing bowl.
  2. Use a stand mixer to mix all the ingredient together for about 1 minute. If you don’t have a stand mixer you can use a spoon or your hands, just make sure all the ingredients are mixed evenly.
  3. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to make little sausage balls and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I put about a 1 inch space between all of the sausage balls.
  4. Preheat oven to 350° F and bake the pancake balls for 20 -25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve with syrup or jelly for dipping!

Combine, stir, scoop, and bake. That's all you need to do for this easy to make breakfast idea. Sausage pancake bites are crispy on the outside and delicious on the inside, making these the perfect breakfast.

This really is the best family friendly breakfast! It’s so simple to make and everyone always gobbles them up. I like to make a double or triple batch and freeze the leftovers. This way I always have a few to pop in the microwave on a busy weekday morning.

Your guest will be blown away at how yummy these pancake sausage bites are. You can even prep the ingredients the night before, scoop the sausage balls onto your baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap until you’re ready to bake in the morning.

Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Course: Breakfast
Keyword: few ingredients, finger food, pancake mix, picky eaters, quick and easy, sausage
Servings: 28 sausage balls

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups pancake mix (any brand will work)
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (uncooked)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • syrup or jelly for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the dry pancake mix, uncooked sausage, shredded cheese, and milk into a mixing bowl.
  • Mix all ingredients using a stand mixer, spoon, or your hands until mixed evenly.
  • Using a cookie dough scoop or spoon, form small balls and place on your prepared baking sheet. Leave about 1 inch of space between each pancake sausage ball.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown on top.
  • Dip in syrup or jelly and ENJOY!

Notes

  • The pancake mix will be used DRY, no need to make the batter. 
  • Double the recipe and store uneaten pancake sausage bites in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, defrost overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave for 30 second intervals until warm.
  • I like to use a block of cheddar cheese and shred it myself. I think block cheese tastes so much better than pre-shredded cheese. 
  • If you don't have parchment paper for your baking sheet, make sure to grease the baking sheet with cooking spray before using.
