This Homemade McGriddle recipe brings the beloved breakfast sandwich to your kitchen with fluffy maple-infused pancakes, savory sausage or bacon, and melted cheese. It’s a perfect blend of sweet and savory to start your day deliciously.

Ingredients

For the Pancakes

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (or alternative)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (plus extra for serving)

For the Sandwich

  • 4 sausage patties or bacon strips
  • Cheese slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution and a light pancake texture.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk the whole milk and large egg until the mixture is smooth and homogenized.
  3. Combine batter: Gently blend the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter has some lumps for a tender pancake.
  4. Add maple syrup: Fold 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into the batter to infuse the pancakes with that classic McGriddle sweetness.
  5. Cook pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cook protein: In another pan over medium heat, cook sausage patties or bacon strips until browned and fully cooked, approximately 4-5 minutes per side for sausage or until crisp for bacon.
  7. Assemble McGriddles: Place a warm pancake on a plate, layer with your cooked sausage patties or bacon, add a slice of cheese if desired, and top with a second pancake to complete the sandwich. Serve immediately with extra maple syrup on the side.

Notes

  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity if you prefer a less sweet pancake.
  • Cheese is optional but adds a nice creamy balance to the sweet-savory flavors.
  • Precook the sausage thoroughly to ensure food safety.
  • For crispier bacon, drain on paper towels after cooking.
  • Maple syrup quality greatly affects flavor – use 100% pure maple syrup if possible.
