Hip tips for making the best keto sausage McGriddle copycat recipe:

  • Since the pancake batter makes more than enough for one sandwich, I usually make 4-5 sandwiches out of one batch and freeze them for the upcoming week.
  • You can also make this keto McGriddle with bacon, ham, or just spinach and mushrooms if you’re vegetarian.
  • I like using just one sausage patty on my McGriddle. I used some fresh ground sausage to make the patties, but you can also grab pre-made sausage patties from the grocery store instead to save time.

McDonald's Sausage McGriddle Breakfast Sandwich Keto Copycat Recipe (12)

My Hip sidekick Jenna gave this recipe a try and here’s what she thought:

“My favorite thing on the entire McDonald’s menu is the McGriddles! I remember when they first added them when I was in high school — I went from never eating there, to eating there just about every morning. I also remember reading that it had more carbs and sugar in it than anything else on the menu. That maple flavor in the pancake bun is the best, and this recipe recreates it in the perfect keto fashion. I froze a few and plan on adding this to my regular Sunday meal prep. This is absolutely a must-try recipe!”
