My kids love sausage and pancakes but making them during the week was out of the question. I purchased the frozen variety on a stick but wasn't keen on the calories, additives or price. This version of pigs in a blanket is a great alternative that's much more cost effective. —Lisa Dodd, Greenville, South Carolina

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (7 ounces each) frozen fully cooked breakfast sausage links
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Maple syrup, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Coat 48 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. Microwave sausages according to package directions; drain. Cut into small chunks; divide evenly among muffin cups.
  2. Whisk next 6 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, oil and honey until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Pour batter over sausage chunks in prepared muffin cups.
  3. Bake until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm, adding syrup if desired.
