Slow Cooker Savory Waffle Bread Pudding
So on those rare occasions (usually when I’m traveling) that I have breakfast at McDonalds I always order the McGriddle. Squeeze a little maple syrup or my CRANBERRY SYRUP on this Slow Cooker Savory Waffle Bread Pudding and that’s exactly what you have! With the exception that it tastes better and I’m pretty sure is better for you. 🙂
Planning a holiday breakfast buffet? Make two of these! One with sausage and one with ham or bacon! Add your own twist by using a flavored creamer. As you can see the options are endless. These best part is using toasted frozen waffles!
