This homemade McGriddle recipe recreates the iconic breakfast sandwich by combining fluffy maple-flavored pancakes with savory sausage or bacon and melted cheese. Easy to make with simple ingredients, it perfectly balances sweet and savory for a comforting morning meal.

Ingredients

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)

Protein

  • 4 sausage patties or bacon strips

Extras

  • Cheese slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt thoroughly to create the dry base for the batter.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup whole milk and 1 large egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform, preparing the wet component of the batter.
  3. Make Batter: Gently combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring lightly; it’s okay to have some lumps to keep the pancakes tender. Fold in 2 tbsp maple syrup to infuse the batter with signature sweetness.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden brown (1-2 minutes).
  5. Cook Protein: In a separate pan, cook the 4 sausage patties or bacon strips over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side for sausage patties.
  6. Assemble McGriddle: Place one pancake on the bottom, add your cooked sausage or bacon, and a slice of cheese if desired. Top with another pancake to complete the sandwich. Serve warm with extra maple syrup on the side if preferred.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage or bacon with plant-based alternatives.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity in the batter to taste for a sweeter or milder pancake.
  • Use non-stick spray or a little butter to grease the pan when cooking pancakes for best results.
  • Cheese is optional but adds a creamy, melty texture and balances the sweetness.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet or microwave for a quick breakfast.
