Easy McGriddle Bites

These McGriddle Bites are a cheap and best breakfast option that my family love. My family is all about sweet and these check all the boxes.
These easy McGriddle Bites are the perfect two-bite treat for game day or any day of the week! Rich and fudgy, they’re guaranteed to disappear fast it’s a good thing they’re so easy to make!

Have you ever craved breakfast at totally the wrong time of day, Like at 3 p.m. or maybe even at midnight Well, same here and that’s actually how these McGriddle Bites were born.

I was standing in my kitchen and I was tired and I was wearing mismatched socks because laundry was not my top priority and I was thinking, “Ugh, I’d kill for that sweet and savory magic that McD’s somehow puts into a sandwich” but dragging everyone to the drive-thru was just not happening.

So I decided to be a little bold and I mixed some pancake batter with a whisper of maple syrup or actually more like a good glug and then I grabbed some sausage and some eggs and I put it all together so voilà, these little bites happened and let me tell you, they were a total game-changer.

My kid called them “breakfast cookies” and honestly, I’m not even mad because that’s pretty accurate.They’re soft and they’re sweet and they’re a little salty and they’re dangerously easy to eat so like, gone before they cool kind of easy.

Oh and here’s a pro tip if you make these with the help of a little one, just know the bites might turn out a little “wonky-shaped” but that’s okay because that’s what love looks like in the kitchen.

So are you ready to try them out, Because trust me, you won’t wanna share them but you probably should.

Tips for

Don’t overmix the batter: stir just until everything is combined. Overmixing can make them dense instead of fluffy.

Cook sausage ahead : make sure your sausage crumbles are fully cooked and cooled before adding to the batter.

Maple syrup magic: use real maple syrup for the best flavor it gives the bites that signature McGriddle taste.

Try variations: add shredded cheese, swap sausage for bacon, or toss in diced veggies for a healthier option.
