Why We Love the Homemade Version of McDonald’s McGriddles?
A healthy and yummy breakfast is just the right way to start a day. It keeps your energy bars high, your mood good, and your tummy happy. The homemade version of McDonald’s McGriddles packs in a lot more nutrition and taste than the original.
Plus, no unknown ingredients or preservatives upset your digestion.
I know I love the fact that my homemade McGriddles have no added sugar, and instead, I can treat myself to a generous dose of maple syrup.
And I’m sure you know how I enjoy pairing pantry staples in mere minutes to come up with some mind-boggling-ly good!
What Can I Serve These Copycat McDonald’s Sandwiches With?
Your choices are open to whatever you like. I love pairing it with a fresh and chilled bowl of seasonal fruits. Or some yogurt parfaits with walnuts and dark chocolate chips. You can also serve it with a veggie smoothie or a bowl of overnight oats. Yum!
What Substitutions Can I Make?
This copycat McDonald’s sandwich is super customizable, and you can choose different ingredients or toppings. Some of the things you can use instead are chicken sausage patties, whole wheat pancake batter, wheat buns, honey mustard, or garlic mayo. You can also go with vegan cheese slices instead of American cheese. It’s all on you, my friend!

How to Store McGriddles?
The recipe makes 4 McGriddles at once. So, you can refrigerate these for grab-on-the-go kinda mornings later. Just put each item in a separate airtight box and assemble it when you’re ready to chow down! Everything will stay good for four days at least!
How to Reheat McGriddles?
Oh, it’s so easy! Take everything out of the fridge. Assemble as usual. And heat your bacon-lined fluffy sandwich in the microwave for 20-40 minutes. You can also heat it in the oven at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes.
How Can I Increase the Protein Content?
The recipe is already oozing protein. But if you’re all about “gimme more muscle,” use egg whites alone! You can also switch bacon for turkey sausage. Or maybe switch the American cheese with feta, and you’d be good to go!
