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!

Mmmm mm! They all look yummy! I’d love to try the youth honey ones thanks for some yummy breakfast ideas!
Anything with bacon has got my vote! What cute/delicious ideas!
The yogurt one sounds yummy. Anything with fresh fruit on it totally gets me! 🙂
i will make the bacon, egg and cheese waffle sandwich. Who doesn’t love bacon.
Peanut Butter Banana French Toast all the way baby!
I’d like to try the bacon, cheese, and egg. Yum!
What fun! I’d love to try the Mini Maple Waffle Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bite.
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!
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. 🙂
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!
Bacon egg and cheese for sure!
I want to try them all! Thank you for sharing!
The bacon, egg, and cheese one looks delicious! I love savory breakfasts.
The PB & banana ones look super-easy and really yummy!
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!
I’m a sucker for French toast so I’m going with the yogurt and berry bits.
You had me at Peanut Butter and Banana!
I want to try them with the strawberries on top!
Mmm, delicious! I hear you on the breakfast thing… These will totally change my status!
Pb and banana!!!
The bacon egg and cheese sounds yummy!
Bacon, egg and cheese
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!
the peanut butter banana looks delicious! We’ve tried these (just plain) and my kids love them!
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 😉
These little bites are great appetizers! Perfect!
PB banana or the honey berry one or just all of them….
Probably pb banana, but if I’m being perfectly honest, I’ll likely end up doing Nutella and banana instead. 🙂
You had me at French Toastwiches! Although, truthfully, I think I’d like to try (and then snarf down) all of them.
mmm peanut butter banana is my weakness
