My kids love waffles and they love French toast, so there is nothing better than this combination of Mini French Toast Waffles.
I just made a single serving the first time I made these for my youngest, but this recipe can easily be double or tripled up and a batch made in advance to freeze. That way all you need to do, is just heat in the oven at 180c/350f until warmed.
Toppings are entirely up to you, my kids love blueberries and strawberries, but these will go well with pretty much any fruit, and for a even more decadent treat for your kids, they are great brushed with some melted butter and served with a drizzle of maple syrup or ice cream. I have this black and decker waffle maker which works perfectly, but any waffle iron should work in a similar way.

Mini French Toast Waffles
These are great for freezing - just double or triple up the recipe to make a batch in advance.
These can then just be heated in the oven when required for a few mins at 180c/350f
Ingredients
- 1 slice of whole wheat bread, or other bread of choice
- 1/4 cup of milk, 60ml, can use a dairy free alternative
- 1 egg
- 1 tbs of butter or coconut oil, melted
- pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Add to bowl the milk, egg, butter (or coconut oil) and pinch of cinnamon.
- Whisk to combine
- Remove crusts from bread (my kids prefer it like this, but you can try with if you prefer), then cut bread into 4 equal sized squares.
- Place bread in a shallow dish and pour on top the egg mixture.
- Rotate the slices just to coat evenly, and then leave for approx 15 mins, so that the bread soaks up all the mixture.
- Heat waffle iron
- Place the 4 squares of soaked bread onto the waffle iron and cook till golden.
- Serve with your choice of sides.
Tried these out as a tester. OMG. It came out lovely. I devoured everything. Now that I am certain of the results, I will make for little one next time.
