Strawberry French Toast Waffles

Strawberry French Toast Waffles are made so easy you're going to wonder why you haven't thought to use your waffle iron before now for these fluffy thick egg battered slices of bread, they're so light and delicious.

The best part about making french toast in a waffle iron is not standing over a hot stove and it repurposes the waffle iron for a great-looking breakfast toast that browns it perfectly.

Eggs, milk, and flavoring along with our fresh strawberries pureed make this look and taste like a gourmet breakfast except no one will know it's not a waffle because it transforms into a waffle!

Seriously breakfast never tasted or looked so good!

Add a few side dishes and this will become the entire family favorite but don't take my word for it, give this one a try first to see.

You may also like to try our Cannoli Stuffed French Toast or Italian French Toast plus another easy breakfast recipe like our Homemade Sausage and Cheddar Biscuits, they're so yummy.

These can be dusted with powdered sugar when you're on the go, packed in lunches (we dip ours in cinnamon sugar after frying) as a snack, and perfect any time of the day.
