Sausage and Cheese McGriddle Muffins

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Cook and crumble the breakfast sausage in a skillet, then set it aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the prepared pancake batter, shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked sausage. Mix until well combined.
4. Grease a muffin tin, then spoon the mixture into each cup. This recipe makes enough batter for 12 regular-sized muffins.
5. Drizzle a little syrup over the top of each muffin. Be careful not to overdo it, as the syrup will sink to the bottom and make the muffins overly sticky when removed.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden.
7. If you have trouble removing the muffins, run a butter knife around the edges. Let them cool slightly before serving.
