    Frozen waffle french toast is a blend of the two best breakfast foods in one convenient recipe. You're going to love making eggo waffle french toast and may never go back to eating them plain again.

    Have you ever found yourself the proud owner of several boxes of frozen toaster waffles? Sales, deals, gifts, they just sort of accumulate in the freezer.

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's frugal. This is a great way to use waffles if you're doing a no spend challenge or a clean out the pantry challenge (even if it is the freezer).
    2. It's unique. Save money on food by using what you already have on hand- uh, yes, please! Not only that, but it's so much fun and different. You may find yourself going out of your way to recreate it often.
    3. Two breakfast favorites in one. We LOVE waffles, and we love french toast, but combining the two means we get spiced cinnamon, buttery waffles, and perfectly toasted syrup pockets in every bite.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Thaw Waffles. For this recipe, use thawed waffles, whether Eggo or another brand. If you lack a microwave, warm and heat the waffles in a toaster until no longer frozen. The objective is to remove the chill before making french toast.
    2. Waffle Brands. Feel free to substitute other waffle brands for Eggo; the recipe works equally well with any brand.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Can you make gluten free Eggo French toast?

    Eggo brand makes gluten free waffles so yes, you can buy GF waffles and make your own GF Eggo french toast. If you can't find Eggo brand, I recommend trying Van's brand. It's delicious!

    Do you need milk for waffle French toast?

    Milk is a common ingredient in many waffle French toast recipes, as it adds creaminess to the batter and helps create a desirable texture. However, it is possible to make waffle French toast without milk.
    If you prefer or need a milk substitute, you can use almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or any other non-dairy milk that suits your dietary preferences. Additionally, you can use water as a milk alternative, but the resulting batter will be less rich and flavorful.

    What are some popular toppings for French toast?

    Popular toppings for French toast include maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, whipped cream, nut butter, and sliced bananas. You can get creative with your favorite toppings.

      These are yummy and easy! I only got 5 waffles out of mix but that’s no problem. I have 3 of the 5 for leftovers. I love reheating in the skillet.
