A healthier take on the classic McGriddles, this recipe combines whole wheat flour pancakes infused with maple syrup, layered with savory turkey sausage and melted cheese for a delicious and nutritious breakfast sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale

Pancakes

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Filling

  • 4 turkey sausage patties
  • 4 slices of cheese (such as cheddar or American)

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients. In a bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. Mix wet ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and maple syrup until fully blended.
  3. Combine batter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Cook pancakes. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Cook turkey sausage. In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook turkey sausage patties until fully cooked through and browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. Assemble McGriddles. Place a slice of cheese on a pancake, top with a turkey sausage patty, and then sandwich with another pancake. The residual heat will melt the cheese slightly.
  7. Serve warm. Enjoy your healthy homemade McGriddles immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use low-fat milk to reduce calories and fat content.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar.
  • Turkey sausage patties should be cooked thoroughly to ensure food safety.
  • Optional: add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the pancake batter for extra flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cheese with vegan cheese and use plant-based milk.
