Awhile back I bought some low carb baking mix (Bob's Red Mill brand), since I've seen lots of bariatric-friendly recipes I want to try. One of those recipes is the sausage pancake bites, which I saw on this blog. The recipe calls for pancake mix, but I figured the low carb baking mix would probably work. For the sausage I used lite breakfast sausage, but I think any kind would work.
So I mixed them up, baked them for 15 minutes, and breakfast was served. They were good, but were a little more dense than I thought they would be. I think it's because I used the baking mix instead of pancake mix. Next time I will buy some pancake mix, preferably low carb if it exists.
There are three on the plate, but I went in for a fourth. Even though they were dense, I didn't feel as full as when I eat eggs and sausage. I served sugar-free pancake syrup on the side.
Sausage Pancake Bites
Makes 24
1 bite contains: 32 calories; 1g fat; 3g carbs, and 3g protein
1 cup pancake mix, dry (I used low carb baking mix)
2/3 cup milk (I used skim, but any milk would work)
1/2 cup Torani Sugar Free Caramel Syrup
6 links cooked lite breakfast sausage, chopped (I used Banquet Lite Original)
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 24 cup mini muffin tin with butter flavored cooking spray
Mix pancake mix, milk, and syrup together until completely combined. Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin. Fill about 3/4 of the way up.
Sprinkle the breakfast sausage over each cup. You can push it down a little so it bakes into the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Eat straight from the pan or cool on a rack if using later.
Here's the recipe I adapted, which makes 12: Sausage Pancake Bites
