Easy to prepare in just under an hour, these McGriddles are ideal for busy mornings or leisurely brunches—and guaranteed to impress.
In a bowl, combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a 'buttermilk' substitute.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the 'buttermilk' mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
In a medium bowl, mix together ground pork, sage, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Form into 8 equal-sized patties.
In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
To assemble, layer a cooked sausage patty between two pancakes. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and sausage patties. Serve warm.
