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:

Sausage Pancake Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted ghee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 7 breakfast sausage links cut in 4ths (check ingredients for no unwanted ingredients)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a muffin pan with 10 parchment paper liners. Parchment paper is important because they may stick to regular liners.

- Add in the eggs, maple syrup, ghee, vanilla, and cashew milk. Mix until fully combined and no lumps remain.
- Scoop evenly into the muffin liners and top each one with three sausage pieces.

Hi! What could I use in place of Ghee? Thanks!

Just had to pop back to say that I made these last night and had them this morning and they were a hit with the fam! Great super fast breakfast too because we just served them with some pre-peeled hard boiled eggs from Costco, so we were able to get the kids out the door really quickly (which was great, since we had a busy morning!)
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for stopping back for an update, Michele! I'm so happy you made them and the family enjoyed them! I love adding them with some hard boiled eggs- we always have those in the fridge. Thanks, Michele! 🙂

Rachel says
Interesting idea! I'll have to check out your corn dog muffins, too. I could see lots of great savory combinations working well based on the type of sausage.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Rachel! Yes, so many possibilities.
