French Toast Waffles..yes, you read that right

A loaf of bread, a simple batter and your waffle iron are all you need to make these delicious French Toast Waffles. On Sunday morning I used an entire loaf of bread to make these French Toast Waffles, thinking that I was making enough to have some left over for breakfast one day during the week. I underestimated my family’s love of French Toast Waffles as there was only one left (and I only ate one myself)…in hindsight I should have taken some out and put them aside.

The waffle iron cooks the French Toast quickly and if you have a large one you can cook several pieces at a time so you can get it on the table fast. The sugar in the French Toast batter caramelizes where it pressed into the iron and gets crispy like creme brule.

I made browned butter, bourbon and banana sauce with raw sugar (here’s the recipe) to top the French Toast Waffles but you can use your favorite syrup.
