Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and grease a mini muffin tin.
Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned.
In a bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, and maple syrup. Mix until just combined.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin.
