Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Sausage Muffins

Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart until browned.
Combine the pancake mix, water, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the cooked sausage and cheddar cheese into the batter until evenly distributed.
Fill each muffin cup in the greased tin about three-quarters full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
