Waffle French Toast

February 27, 2013

I love Cinnamon Raisin bread. It's so darn good toasted it tastes like dessert to me no matter when I eat it.

Recently I started asking my kids at bedtime what they want for breakfast the next morning, trying to get them to pick one thing so I don't wind up being a short order cook, making something different for everyone. I find that breakfast more than any other meal is when I risk falling into this bad habit.

One morning when I had forgotten to ask about breakfast the previous night, Kenya wanted waffles and Chloe asked for French toast. It started to turn into a bit of a power struggle so I decided to rectify the situation and fulfill both of their wishes by making waffle french toast. Plus I made it even more special by doing it with my beloved cinnamon raisin bread. I also used a waffle iron so I didn't need to worry about flipping it halfway through -- giving me extra time to get organized and out the door for school on time!

    Love this! The bread I used was too large for my waffle iron. I cut a strip off the side of each piece and then made french toast/waffle sticks with them.

    These were so good! I just used whole wheat bread because it is what I had on hand. Next time I’m going to try it with the cinnamon raisin bread!

    Oh, yay! That sounds fabulous. I love putting all sorts of stuff in the waffle iron like shredded potatoes for hash browns and event brownie batter!

    Can we use other types of bread like whole wheat or sliced challah bread, which my husband likes?

    Catherine – This looks awesome! I am also wondering what your preferred waffle iron is, I have been researching them and I’m at a loss! Do you use a stationary one or a flip? Thanks!

    I have done this for years! It’s so fast and easy I LOVE it, the girls LOVE it and it’s always easy to freeze and pop in the toaster! I love to add additional things like pureed pumpkin or sweet potatoes and added sprinkle of flax seed and/or wheat brand!!
