Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Crumble and cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, draining excess grease.

In a bowl, combine pancake mix, milk, and eggs. Stir together until just combined, with a few lumps remaining.

Fold in half of the maple syrup and cooked sausage into the batter.

Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish, spread evenly, sprinkle remaining sausage, then pour the rest of the batter on top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and springy when touched.

Let it sit for a few minutes, drizzle remaining maple syrup, slice, and serve warm.
