Lighter Griddlecake Breakfast Sandwiches

These Lighter Griddlecake Breakfast Sandwiches use just 5 ingredients and have around half the calories of a Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddle!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup high-protein pancake mix, (I used Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Whole Grain Buttermilk mix)
  • ¾ cup water
  • 10 teaspoons sugar-free pancake syrup, divided
  • 4 turkey breakfast sausage patties, (I used Jones Dairy Farm brand which comes fully cooked and frozen)
  • 4 large eggs
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices 2% milk American cheese singles, unwrapped

Instructions

  • Bring a griddle or griddle pan to medium heat and mist with cooking spray. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the pancake mix, water, and two tablespoons of the syrup and stir together until combined and mostly smooth (don’t over-mix). For each pancake, pour about 2 ½ tablespoons of batter onto the griddle and let it form about a 3-inch circle. Drizzle ½ teaspoon of syrup over the top surface of the pancake. Allow the pancake to cook for 1-2 minutes until golden on the bottom and then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Make all eight pancakes, remove them to a side plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat the sausage patties according to the package instructions. Mine went frozen into a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • While the sausages cook, break one of the eggs into a small mixing bowl and add a splash of water and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Beat with a fork or whisk until combined. Mist a medium-sized skillet with cooking spray and bring over medium heat. Pour the beaten egg into the pan and turn to coat the bottom in a thin layer. Cook for a minute until cooked through. Fold the egg in thirds (both sides over the middle) and then fold the omelet in half to make a square(ish). Do this step three more times to make four folded eggs.
  • To assemble each sandwich, place a slice of cheese onto one pancake and top with a cooked sausage patty. Place a folded egg on top of the sausage and finish with another pancake on top. This recipe makes four sandwiches.
