Category: Recipes

Yield: 6-8 muffins, depending on size
Ingredients:

2/3 cup HeartSmart Bisquick (or pancake mix of choice)
1/3 cup and 2 tablespoons fat-free skim milk
2 eggs
4 slices turkey bacon, chopped and cooked until crispy*
2 slices American Cheese (sandwich singles)
1 tablespoon plain yogurt or applesauce (instead of veg. oil)

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees

Scramble eggs and 2 tablespoons skim milk in bowl
In separate bowl, combine pancake mix, 1/3 cup skim milk and either 1 tablespoon yogurt or applesauce (or vegetable oil, if you prefer)
Add 2 tablespoons scrambled egg mixture to pancake mix and blend well with fork until smooth

Cook remaining scrambled eggs, then mix cooked eggs and turkey bacon together

Spray muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use baking cups

Add 1/2 tablespoon pancake mixture to muffin cups, spoon egg and turkey bacon mixture into muffin cups

Tear and divide cheese slices, add to muffin cups

Top with remainder pancake mix

Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden

*Turkey bacon can be substituted with turkey sausage or deli-sliced ham

My kids LOVE these, and they are great cooked the night before and heated for 15-30 seconds in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go! For an even more special treat, try dipping in some sugar-free pancake syrup!

ADDITION: Instead of just dipping in syrup, try adding 3Tbs syrup to the pancake batter, so that sweet goodness is baked right in!
