Listen, I have very few real skills in life…but one skill I do have is being able to insert pumpkin into just about anything. So, the other morning, when I went to make my MAPLE SAUSAGE BALLS, I thought “what if I use a pumpkin pancake mix instead of traditional Bisquick?”. Um, I’ve now made these THREE TIMES! Girls, it’s as easy as that!!! I used this…
…from Trader Joe’s which is (bonus) also gluten-free, so this was a double high five if I do say so myself. A little maple…a little sausage…a whole lot of yumminess at breakfast.
Enjoy!

Maple Pumpkin Sausage Balls
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 24 golf ball-sized sausage balls 1x
Description
Come fall time, swap out Bisquick in my traditional Maple Sausage Balls for a pumpkin pancake mix and you get an even more fabulous breakfast bite!
Ingredients
- 1 pound of breakfast sausage (I used Owen’s), uncooked
- 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1¼ cups pumpkin pancake mix
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (use a really good one)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil and then spray it with cooking spray (for easy clean up). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of your ingredients with a hand mixer. Don’t over-beat, just lightly blend. Roll out the mixture into golf ball sized balls and place them on your prepared baking dish.
- Bake about 20 to 25 minutes or until browned.
- Remove and serve immediately or at room temperature.
Notes
We use Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Pancake Mix to keep this a g-free recipe!

This looks so good! I went to my Trader Joe’s today to get the pumpkin pancake mix, and they said they are sold out of it for the season! So sad! Do you have suggestions on where to find a similar mix? Thank you!

Oh, my gosh…if we don’t get a Trader Joe’s soon I am going to scream!! Someone gave me a box of TJ’s pumpkin bread mix…soooo scrumptious. Wonder if I can order this pumpkin pancake mix online somewhere. This recipe sounds fabulous.

Delicious!! Just made these for unexpected company-so easy, quick and so fall! And the gluten free mix-amazing!! Thanks Shay-you had me at ‘I’ve made these 3 times already!’
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!! I’m literally about to make them this morning again!!!
Terri says
Can these be prepped and oven ready the night before so I can just just pop them in the oven in the morning, or will the Bisquick get clumpy?
First USC game in a long time tomorrow!!
Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
