Breakfast Sausage - Savory, meaty, and delicious. Use your favorite variety. Sage, maple, and spicy all work well in this recipe. Use what you love!
Dairy Free Cheese - Melty, ooey, and gooey, is there anything better than an egg draped in cheese? This brings a savory note to balance the sweetness of the maple syrup while also adding creamy texture.
Eggs - Roll up your sleeves! Molten yolk makes everything better. The golden burst of egg adds richness and sauciness to every bite.
Gluten Free Pancake Mix - Josie's Best The Pancake makes creating the "buns" for this breakfast burger easy. Josie's Best is my go-to pancake mix. it is created in a dedicated Top 8 Allergen Free facility and in addition to being Gluten Free and Dairy Free is also free of soy, peanuts, and tree nuts. It's not only easy to make it's also absolutely delicious!
Maple Syrup - Adds sweetness to every bite of the pancake sandwich. Maple syrup gets swirled into the batter and slightly caramelizes as the pancakes cook.

Storage

Both the sausage patties and pancakes can be made ahead of time and then reheated in a skillet or on the griddle when ready to make your Gluten and Dairy Free McGriddle Smashburgers.

In addition, you can also tightly wrap them and freeze them for up to three months.

Top Tip for Gluten and Dairy Free McGriddle Smashburgers

Texture is everything! There is nothing like the crispy bits on sausage and the delicate crusted exterior of a pancake with its pillowy bite. Always make sure your griddle is fully heated when adding your food and allow it to come back up to temp between cooking the sausage, pancakes, and eggs.
