How to make pancake mix muffins
Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray or use cupcake liners. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, milk and eggs.

Fill the muffin tin with the pancake mix batter mixture. Pour the batter almost to the top of the muffin cup.

Cut up each of the sausage links into a few pieces and push several sausage pieces into the top of the pancake cupcakes.

Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve with syrup & enjoy.

The morning hours are often a frantic blur for parents with young kids. But these easy pancake muffins can save the day.

Pancake Mix Muffins give you the same delicious flavor and same easy cooking method as pancakes, but in an even tastier, fluffier form.

Variations
One thing I love about this pancake mix cupcakes is the fact that you can change it up in so many different ways.
- Bacon - Who doesn't love pancakes and bacon? Crumble up some bacon and sprinkle it on the pancake batter.
- Strawberries - Add chopped strawberries to the batter.
- Cinnamon sugar - Sprinkle a cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
- Blueberries - Fold some blueberries into the mixture for that blueberry pancake taste.
- Chocolate chips - Chocolate makes everything better!
