My kids have this dream that I will be the cool breakfast mom. I am a cool mom in a lot of ways. Okay. Maybe not a lot of ways, and I’m pretty sure I think I’m cooler than my kids think I am. But I am not the coolest breakfast mom. We eat a lot of cold cereal. Sometimes scrambled eggs. Pancakes, waffles, all that good stuff is pretty much saved for dinner, birthdays, and the first in a series of snow days (the third and fourth snow days are not nearly as celebratory. For anyone.)
Have you seen these little Eggo Bites? Apparently they have made me a much cooler mom.They’re these pouches of little waffles or French toast. You can pop them in the microwave or the toaster and you can eat them on the go.
Which is awesome.
But. My kids have a long way to go from breakfast until lunch and they need a little bulking up to give the waffles some staying power, so I came up with a few ideas to dress them up a little. And seriously…you guys…all of these concoctions were all delicious and I would serve any of them to overnight guests in my home or at a brunch with fancy friends or eat them for lunch. And they’re all super easy–like 5 minutes or less.
First up? The Mini Maple Waffle Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bite. This was my husband’s favorite.
You’ll need a couple of scrambled eggs, some shredded cheddar cheese, and a slice of precooked bacon for each pair of bite-sized waffles. While the eggs are scrambling, toast the waffles in the toaster, then break them apart. Break each piece of bacon in half and put two halves on one little waffle, add some eggs, sprinkle with cheese, and top with another waffle and serve. Each pouch makes 4 sandwiches.
For the Mini Peanut Butter- Banana French Toastwiches, you’ll need the Bite-Sized Cinnamon French Toast. Heat it in the toaster, then break the pieces apart and spread each side with peanut butter (I used fresh-ground honey roasted peanut butter from the grocery store). I placed a banana on one peanut-buttered side and then topped it with the other piece. Each pouch makes 4 sandwiches..
The last thing I made was Yogurt, Honey, and Berry French Toast Bites. I toasted the vanilla French toast bites in my toaster (but the cinnamon would work, too!) Then I broke them apart and spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of honey Greek yogurt on each piece, then topped them with strawberry slices, blueberries, and a little drizzle of honey. Each pouch makes 8 bites.
We loved all of these! They’re totally joining our breakfast (and, let’s face it, lunch and dinner) rotation. If you want to try them, too, we have some coupons for free products to give away! Just leave us a comment and tell us which recipe you want to try! We’ll pick a winner on Tuesday night and announce it on Wednesday!

mmm peanut butter banana is my weakness
You had me at French Toastwiches! Although, truthfully, I think I’d like to try (and then snarf down) all of them.
Probably pb banana, but if I’m being perfectly honest, I’ll likely end up doing Nutella and banana instead. 🙂
PB banana or the honey berry one or just all of them….
These little bites are great appetizers! Perfect!
Perfect! I agree with needing to add bulk for the kids to get from breakfast to lunch! My kids would love any of these, but egg and cheese sandwiches are a staple here, so I imagine they’d be pretty happy with a waffle sandwich 😉
the peanut butter banana looks delicious! We’ve tried these (just plain) and my kids love them!
I love all of these ideas! I particularly am looking forward to trying the first one-the mini maple waffle. Sounds like the perfect little easy combo of savory and sweet!
Bacon, egg and cheese
The bacon egg and cheese sounds yummy!
Pb and banana!!!
Mmm, delicious! I hear you on the breakfast thing… These will totally change my status!
I want to try them with the strawberries on top!
You had me at Peanut Butter and Banana!
I’m a sucker for French toast so I’m going with the yogurt and berry bits.
This brings back memories from college–I’d buy my brother boxes of Eggos from Costco. I am a huge fan of the egg, bacon & cheese sandwich!
The PB & banana ones look super-easy and really yummy!
The bacon, egg, and cheese one looks delicious! I love savory breakfasts.
I want to try them all! Thank you for sharing!
Bacon egg and cheese for sure!
Wow, so cute! I love mini things! These are adorable. They all look amazing, but I definitely want to try out the yogurt and berry french toast bites first!
We’d probably enjoy the egg and bacon ones the most, but I think the berry ones would be easier to make, so that’s my vote. 🙂
I love me some peanut butter and banana so that would have to be my fav. My kids are college aged now, but I’ll bet they’d love these – I will try them out next time they are home on break!
What fun! I’d love to try the Mini Maple Waffle Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bite.
I’d like to try the bacon, cheese, and egg. Yum!
Peanut Butter Banana French Toast all the way baby!
i will make the bacon, egg and cheese waffle sandwich. Who doesn’t love bacon.
The yogurt one sounds yummy. Anything with fresh fruit on it totally gets me! 🙂
Anything with bacon has got my vote! What cute/delicious ideas!
Mmmm mm! They all look yummy! I’d love to try the youth honey ones thanks for some yummy breakfast ideas!
The yogurt and berry one. How fun!
Mmmm I want to try them all but probably the berries one the most!
Definitely the bacon, egg and cheese waffle sandwich! Yum!
I M ALL OVER THIS. I NEED SOME GOOD BREAKfAST IDEAS FOR MY BOYS- I WOULD DO ALL THREE HONESTLY.
The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich will go over big in our house ~ although it will need to be deconstructed for my 7 year old 🙂
Mmmmmm….bacon!!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
The French Toast with fresh fruit sounds yummy!
Oh boy, tough decision. First. I’d like to try the maple waffle, bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, then the PB and banana french toastwiches. They sound super yummy!!!
Yum, my grandkids would love these! And I’m pretty sure, I would too 😉
I would go for peanut butter and banana any day. Adding a couple little mini chocolate chips wouldn’t be awful either.
Actually I was thinking how great the little waffles would be as li appetizers or for dinner, served open faced with chicken nuggets with a syrup drizzle. Mini chicken and waffles!
Okay, those all look amazing! I would totally make the mini maple ones! Yum!
Strawberries and blueberries on a little pop in your mouth bite of waffle looks delicious. Looks like a fun product!
OH! Peanut Butter Banana is the one!
The recipe we would try the French toast and berry with yogurt.
Thanks
They all look so yummy! I think I would try the Mini Peanut Butter- Banana French Toastwiches first!
So excited about these recipes!! We’ve discovered these YUMMY Eggo bites at our house and they’ve come in super handy as my daughter runs out the door everyday at 5:45am! Can’t wait to try all 3 variations…she’s going to LOVE them!!
I like the looks of those little teeny waffles.
I love the yogurt, honey and berry combination and the bacon, egg and cheese. Clever ideas that I am sure my kids will enjoy.
Mommy the berry and honey french toast sounds wonderful!
*yummy, not mommy…love auto correct!
Those all look so yummy! But if I had to choose one, I would say the bacon, egg, & cheese!
I want to try to peanut butter banana bites but the egg and bacon ones look good too!
These are all so darling, but those maple waffle bacon, egg and cheese bites look especially delicious!
Peanut butter banana, for sure!
I love Eggos and these look like the perfect embellishments.
If bacon is an option, then it should always be the answer… so the bacon, egg, and cheese bite would be my first pick! 🙂
PB banana! We have grilled PB and banana sandwiches for breakfast here when its cold.
Honey yogurt and berries one looks so good!
The french toast looks great (plus it reminds me of summer and it can’t get here fast enough in Ohio).
my 11 daughter is learning to cook, and I thought of her when I saw these- a fun and delicious and easy thing for her to make and serve for the family! I imagine she’d want to do the fruit version since its so pretty, but she and ask of us would devour the egg sandwich ones in no time, also. Thanks for sharing!
sorry, that should have said “11 year old daughter”, and ” all of us” ( Swype, I love you but I hate you. sigh) 🙂
I would make the peanut butter banana bites first, but they all look great.
peanut butter and banana sounds so good…maybe throw some Nutella in there as well??
Yum! The bacon, egg, and cheese seems like the perfect breakfast to grab on your way out the door!
Berry Bites. Yum.
These are such a good idea!! The peanut butter and banana would be my choice to try. But I would eat any of them. I need to make these soon.
I have been wanting to try these little bites… waffle sandwiches would be my pick. 🙂 Just the photos alone do some MAJOR selling! Thanks for the ideas to SPARK my breakfast routine!!
Bacon egg and cheese!
Love the egg and bacon sandwich idea! Fun!
I love peanut butter
I’m sure all of these recipes need to be tried out on my grand kids. I’m sure I would be a much cooler grandma then! Thanks for the ideas!
All of them!
The egg and bacon sounds yummy.
I would definitely try the eggs and bacon waffles.
I’d love to choose all 3, but if I had to choose just one it would probably be the yogurt, honey, berry french toast bites. And don’t tell anyone, but I might turn them into ice cream, berry, caramel sauce french toast bites and serve them for dessert instead. Even at 8 in the morning that sounds tempting!
mmm I love breakfast sandwiches,so the egg bacon & cheese waffle bites! thanks!
I would probably try the berry french toast bites. My kids would like the maple breakfast sandwiches of which they would each eat the whole 8 bites.
The Mini Peanut Butter-Banana French Toastwiches look really good. Can’t wait to try them.
Yogurt honey and berry french toast bites please!!! It’s totally healthy…right?!?
The yogurt, honey, and berry bites look delicious!
All three look great! Though I would have to say I’d choose the peanut butter and banana to try first. Yum!
I would probably eat the peanut butter and banana toast ones for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! It looks delicious!
Definitely the honey, yogurt and berry French toast. All the things my family loves.
I’m all for the fruity options. The berries and yogurt look wonderful!
Egg sandwiches are always a win at my house! And better with bacon!
Fun! I would like to try the bacon, egg, & cheese ones. They all look yummy and I love how easy they are!
The Yogurt, Honey, and Berry French Toast Bites look delicious!
I would love the berries and French toast bites!
All three of these look really good! I would probably try the PB and banana first….yum!
Maple, bacon, eggs, waffles, cheese???? And miniature? You have saved me from a plate full of more calories than what it takes to feed half of the African continent! I want to try that one for sure!
pb banana!
The egg and cheese one is what I would try…delish!
Hard to choose between the pb banana and honey berry but let’s go with….pb banana. That way I can feel good about the protein in peanut butter…it does have protein, right? A nutritionist I am not.
The maple waffles with egg bacon and cheese!
They all look so good! I’ve been thinking about picking up some of these for easy breakfast before school.
Ooo they all sound delish! But I’d probably start with the egg and bacon one, who can say no to bacon?! 🙂
I would have to say The Mini Maple Waffle Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bites. I know my kiddos and hubby would love them.
Definitely the maple waffle. It’s like a McGriddle…my husband’s fav breakfast sandwich!
They all look great! But I’d try the bacon, egg, and cheese one first! You are right, the breakfast usuals can get boring!
The maple egg bacon and cheese one – yummy. My mouth is watering.
Peanut butter and banana all the way!
Yum!! First PB Banana, then the berry one, then the egg and bacon bites. They all look delicious. And so cute!
Oooh, those bacon egg ones look GOOD. They are all so CUTE!
The yogurt/berry bites look tasty!
Bacon, egg and cheese please!
My kids would love all three of these! All are great ideas, but I would love to try the maple waffle recipe.
Those look delicious and fun! I’d like to try them all, but especially the vanilla.
I love peanut butter on my waffles so I’d go with that one!
I really want to be the kind of mom that makes a hot, delicious, gourmet breakfast every morning. But oh my goodness, with lunches, dinner and everything else in between, who has time for that?!
Those all look amazing!
Breakfast foods are the best. We usually have breakfast for dinner at least once every two weeks so new ideas are awesome
I LOVE breakfast & waffles!!!
Thanks for a great idea! All three sounds yummy:)
