Sure, here’s a fun recipe to create a McGriddle-inspired muffin:
Ingredients:
For the Muffin Batter:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
For the Filling:
- 4 breakfast sausage patties (cooked)
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 4 scrambled eggs (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- Prepare the Muffin Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed (don’t overmix).
- Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup (just enough to cover the bottom).
- Place a sausage patty on top of the batter.
- Add a slice of cheese on top of the sausage patty. If you’re using scrambled eggs, add them on top of the cheese.
- Spoon more batter over the filling to cover it completely.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your McGriddle-inspired muffins!
