Brown the package of maple flavored Jimmy Dean sausage in a pan until nicely browned.

In a mixing bowl, add 2 large eggs, 2 cups of pancake mix, 1 and 3/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Mix all the ingredients together using a wooden spoon until well combined.

Let the browned sausage cool for 5 minutes, then combine it with the pancake mixture.

Prepare silicone muffin pans or a regular muffin pan with liners that are sprayed.

Pour the mixture into the muffin pans, filling them appropriately.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until they barely start to get brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Larger muffins will take about 20 minutes.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool.

Store some muffins in a glass container in the refrigerator and freeze the rest in Ziploc bags for quick breakfasts.
