Savor the flavor of homemade pancakes & sausage. Bite size sausage balls mixed with pancakes and baked to a golden brown, then drizzled with maple syrup! Great for big family breakfasts or an on-the-go snack for the kids!
Pancake Breakfast Balls with Maple Syrup
Directions
- Mix together gently, in a large bowl, the cubed pancakes, ground cinnamon, 2 whisked eggs and 1/3 cup maple syrup until well blended.
- Working with one sausage patty at a time, place 1 generous teaspoon pancake mixture on top of each one and using your hands mix together to form a meat ball, keeping some of the pancake pieces whole. Each sausage patty makes one approximately 2 inch meatball.
- Place meatballs on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet as you work. When you have made all 30 meatballs, cover loosely and pop into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake meatballs until cooked throughout, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Notes
You can alway make a half batch of these meatballs as well, but they are so easy to make why not make the whole box; cook the meatballs, cool, and freeze in bags for later. Just pop a few into the microwave and they are ready to eat.
To Serve
For a large gathering, put meatballs in a large shallow bowl along with a spoon and let guests serve themselves. You could offer a small pitcher of syrup and bowl of fresh fruit alongside. You can also put three or 4 meatballs on individual plates with fresh berries and a drizzle of syrup. These sausage-pancake meatballs are also a wonderful to-go breakfast. Just put 2 or 3 in a to-go container on short skewers along with fresh fruit and a small container of maple syrup. Drizzle with syrup and skewer fruit and meatballs. Kids love these!
