French Toast Waffles Recipe Whole Grain, High Protein Breakfast

Breakfast· Fun

FacebookTweetPin
5 May

I don’t know why all waffles aren’t made this super easy and amazing French Toast way!

On to today… The day after a race or long run is always a super HUNGRY day for me. Does that happen to anyone else? ( I ran the OC Marathon the day before I posted this recipe!)

i love food im hungry mother i want a donut

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a donut. But I did have an amazing breakfast idea! And I woke up and had a green smoothie to quiet the hunger while I made it.

Today’s a rest day so I started the day with a walk. My right knee is a little sore from the race, but outside of that I feel good.

Now I have to share the most awesome breakfast I had on Saturday!

french toast waffles recipe easy high protein whole grain

This weekend I was dreaming about this recipe while running and thought I was some kinda food genius. I’m sure I’m not the first person to think of this, but I haven’t seen it on any of the blogs I read so I was VERY EXCITED to try it out. Why don’t we make waffles with bread dipped in an egg batter??!! I bet it would come out like French Toast. It’s so much easier than making batter from scratch…

So I tried it and…. (drum-roll please)

IT WORKED and was delicious!

I love waffles, but don’t usually make them because they’re more work than pancakes. Well, these French Toast Waffles are less work than pancakes!

Easy French Toast Waffles Recipe

{Serves one. Can be make gluten free* with gf bread.}

  • 2 pieces of whole grain bread (*or gluten free bread)
  • 2 eggs
  • dash of each: milk, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon

Directions:

Pre-Heat your Waffle Maker. (If you don’t have a waffle maker – check out this sandwich/waffle maker combo one.)

Mix eggs and milk, vanilla, salt, cinnamon. Dip bread in egg mix – both sides.

Place bread in waffle maker (sprayed with non-stick spray). Cook through.

Check out this waffle maker with removable plates – so easy to clean! That’s the one I usually use.

I topped mine with bananas and maple syrup.

Maybe it was the ‘Runger’ taking but I think it’s the BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe ever!

      i dont run races, but i am always hungry. i think it’s the baby’s fault…

      i haven’t made FT this way, but when i saw your post title i thought it was gonna be something i have done.. french toasted waffles. basically take left over waffles and dip them in FT batter and then cook them in a pan. granted, your way is a zillion times easier, but the other kind are good, too.

      love you.

      This is genius beyond genius. Like Nobel prize worthy genius!!!
      So I don’t own a waffle maker but am obsessed with waffles. My sister in law is the willam Sonoma queen and whips out her Cadillac waffle maker to make me batches of a dozen waffles and freezes them for me. They toast up perfectly in the toaster oven. I’m a lucky girl 🙂

      These waffles look amazing! I can’t wait to try them. As for post-race munchies, I too am a victim. In fact, I recently ran my first marathon and I woke up in the middle of the night with my tummy growling 🙁 I don’t limit my calories after big runs like that either. I love food so much, but if there was a way to avoid post-run hunger I would definitely get in line!

      Man, I LOVE that idea! I do have a waffle maker. It’s pretty small and is able to be stored on-end like a book so it’s pretty space efficient. I love it!

      That idea is genious! Although it still means I have to clean the waffle iron which is my least favourite job!

        Agreed. A waffle maker that let’s you just pull off the waffle tile parts (I don’t know how to talk clearly) and dishwasher them is my dream wafflemaker.

      I do have a belgian waffle maker and I’m ashamed to say I have never used it….it sits on the shelf with a wine chiller, a bread maker, a panina grill and a sandwich press, all of which have never been used…well, except the wine chiller, that’s a standard round here! 😉

      Those look delicious! And ridiculously easy. I do own a waffle maker…I won it from somewhere a while ago.
      Also, I quote Rolly from 101 Dalmations all the time! His spiel is basically my motto.
