This homemade McGriddle recipe combines sweet maple-infused pancake buns with warm, cheesy eggs for the perfect sweet-and-savory breakfast sandwich. It’s customizable, freezer-friendly, and easy to prep ahead.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 breakfast sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup buttermilk or regular milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • Maple syrup (for drizzling on pancake batter)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices cheese of choice (cheddar, American, or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Add milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
  3. Lightly grease a skillet and place a ring mold over medium-low heat. Pour a few tablespoons of batter into the mold and drizzle maple syrup on top.
  4. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden. Repeat to make 8 pancake buns.
  5. In another bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Cook in a nonstick skillet and fold into squares.
  6. Assemble the sandwich: Place one pancake on a plate, top with a cheese slice, a folded egg, and another pancake.
  7. Press gently and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a ring mold or wide mason jar lid for evenly sized pancakes.
  • Make ahead and store in fridge (3 days) or freezer (2 months).
  • Reheat in microwave then toast in pan or toaster oven.
  • Add avocado, spinach, or mushrooms for extra nutrients.
  • Use plant-based ingredients for a vegan version.
