These Paleo Sausage Pancake Muffins are easy to make and a great grab-and-go breakfast. Gluten free, dairy free, and so delicious!
These muffins have all the flavors of traditional pancakes and sausage, but they're combined to make a fun, easy breakfast. After making my Paleo Corn Dog Muffins I thought of trying a breakfast version and they came out so great! The "pancake" part is sweetened with maple and paired with the sausage makes a great sweet/savory combination.
MAYBE you're thinking that it's weird to combine savory sausage with sweet pancake, but I assure you it's not. I've always loved dipping my breakfast sausage in maple syrup and this is the same idea.
Breakfast sausage
I used Al Fresco Country Style breakfast sausage. It has clean ingredients and they're super tasty. I'm sure there are other sausage brands out there that will work as well, just check the label for no unwanted ingredients. Also make sure to use a fully cooked breakfast sausage or cook the sausage first.
They are super simple to make! Mixed in one bowl and ready in 30 minutes. They are a great weekend breakfast or you can make them Sunday to have an on-the-go breakfast for the week.
I definitely think they are sweet enough and moist on their own, but feel feel to dip them in additional maple syrup for an extra sweet treat. Or drizzle it on top.
Parchment liners for easy removal
One important tip is to use parchment liners. They are sold right next to the regular liners in the store. You may have trouble with the muffins sticking if you don't use parchment- just a warning!
You will love these Sausage Pancake Muffins because they are easy and so delicious! The perfect sweet and salty combination that the whole family will love. Here are some more breakfast to try:

Bethany @ Athletic Avocado says
I actually love dipping my breakfast sausage in maple syrup, so this sweet and savory combo does not sound weird to me! My mom used to make a pancake casserole with sausage in it and these muffins probably taste pretty similar, yum!
Jessica DeMay says
I'm so glad you agree with me, Bethany 🙂 That casserole sounds great! Sweet and salty is the way to go!
Stacey Crawford says

Laurel says
Can you tell me how many net carbs are in theses?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Laurel- I don't know because I don't count carbs. There are many sites that can help you figure that out if needed.

Renee Kohley says
Oh! These are perfect for my toddler! I have to run my big girls to school every morning and so her breakfast is in the car a lot unfortunately because she doesn't like to get up early! Thank you for this great portable idea!
Jessica DeMay says
You're welcome, Renee! Yes, perfect for toddlers!
Katie says
Should the sausages be cooked before putting them in?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Katie- the sausage used is fully cooked so you don't need to worry about cooking it. It's not raw. I hope that helps. Enjoy!
