What Ingredients Are in French Toast Waffles?

Whole Milk – I prefer to use whole milk in most of my recipes because of the higher fat content in the whole milk. Fat is flavor, so it makes the waffles more moist and flavorful.
Oil – I always use canola or olive oil in my recipes. For this recipe, I used canola oil.
Eggs
Vanilla – I wanted these waffles to have a sweet and buttery taste, so I added in vanilla.
Cinnamon Bread or White Bread – This is all about your preference. I like to use cinnamon bread but white bread will work great as well.
Toppings – fruit, homemade raspberry jam (you can find my recipe here), homemade whipped cream (recipe here), syrup, peanut butter, etc… The possibilities are endless!

Tools You’ll Need

Liquid Measuring Cup
Mixing Bowl

How to Make French Toast Waffles

Preheat a waffle iron.
In a mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until just combined.
Take a slice of bread and dip into egg mixture, coating both sides evenly but not soaking them too long to avoid sogginess.
Lightly spray the waffle iron with cooking spray, then place the dipped slice of bread onto the hot waffle iron and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Repeat this process until all French toast waffles have been made.
Top with favorite toppings and enjoy!

Gluten Free French Toast Waffles

This recipe can easily be adjusted to be gluten free. Just find your favorite gluten free bread and use that in place of normal bread. Here are a few brands I like the best:

Franz Gluten Free Bread

Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread

Storage and Freezing

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-7 days. These easy French toast waffles are a family favorite, so they go fast at our house. I usually make them in bulk so that we have some easy and quick breakfast options throughout the week.

Did you know that you can freeze these waffles? Place the waffles in a freezer Ziploc bag and place them in the freezer. To reheat, we just take out the desired amount of waffles and pop them in the toaster on defrost. It is so yummy!
