Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a small skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add the sausage meat, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook for 6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Stir in a small splash of the maple syrup for the last 30 seconds to coat the crumbles, then set aside. Done when browned and opaque, 165°F.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of the salt. Stir in the milk and the remaining maple syrup until a pourable batter forms. In a separate bowl, whisk the whole egg, egg whites, remaining salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Coat a 2-cup baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the pancake batter into the bottom and spread it evenly. Scatter the cooked sausage crumbles over the batter, then pour the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until the eggs are set and a knife inserted into the pancake layer comes out clean. Done when eggs are set and no longer jiggle, 160°F.
