Enjoy a delicious homemade version of the iconic McGriddle breakfast sandwich featuring fluffy maple-flavored pancakes, savory sausage or crispy bacon, and melty cheese all sandwiched together for a perfect sweet and savory bite.

Ingredients

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (or alternative)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Protein & Assembly

  • 4 sausage patties or bacon strips
  • Cheese slices (optional)
  • Extra maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt to create the dry base for the pancake batter.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth to ensure even incorporation into the dry ingredients.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, carefully folding to maintain some lumps for light and fluffy pancakes. Then fold in the maple syrup to infuse the batter with the signature sweet flavor.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  5. Cook Protein: In another pan, cook the sausage patties or bacon strips over medium heat until nicely browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side for sausage.
  6. Assemble McGriddles: Take one pancake as the base, layer on your cooked sausage patties or bacon strips, add a slice of cheese if desired, and top with another pancake. Serve warm with extra maple syrup on the side for drizzling.

Notes

  • You can substitute whole milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace sausage or bacon with plant-based alternatives or add cooked mushrooms.
  • Make sure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning pancakes before they cook through.
  • Cheese slices are optional but add a creamy texture and balance the sweetness.
  • Leftover pancakes and protein can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated before assembling.
