I was so excited about this recipe, because my girls love pancakes. They also love muffins just as much as I do. My youngest daughter and I are both big fans of sausage. So, combine all of that together and I had a delicious breakfast.
Just make sure that you have some maple syrup to drizzle over the top. Somehow I did not have any maple syrup in my house and believe me I looked and looked and looked and just could not find any. Even without maple syrup these muffins were good, but the maple syrup would make them even better.
