Since Valentine's Day falls on a Friday this year, I think we should celebrate all weekend by making lots of desserts for two! But, I'm slightly biased in that opinion. On the slight chance that you and your Valentine are celebrating Valentine's Day on Saturday with a breakfast in bed option, I've got you covered.
Men!: take your woman out, she doesn't want to cook on Friday. She also wants one of those cocktails that's too difficult to make at home. Order two.
Women!: make your man this French toast that you cook in a waffle iron. It's so easy, I know you can do it!
I used 100%whole wheat bread because I love it, but I've noticed that whole wheat bread has a bit of sugar or molasses to sweeten the grain flavor. This is good news. While I'm not making any health claims of a bread that is dipped in eggs, milk and sugar, I'm just concerned that white bread won't hold up as well on the waffle iron. Go for whole grain. And then eat two because it's healthy! {health claim. oops}
No need to flip it like French toast, just let it cook like a waffle!
The rum raisins on top are only if you like raisins. Some people have violent reactions against them. They're just a dried fruit, you know. You pay $11/pound for dried mango but eschew raisins? I don't get it. Try them soaked in rum. It just might make a believer out of you.
Yields: 4 slices of French toast I prefer whole wheat bread because it holds up best in the waffle iron. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.Rum Raisin Waffled French Toast

I totally am in love with this idea! I wouldn't have even thought to make French Toast in a waffle maker!

Why aren't we neighbors again? I can only imagine weekly breakfast dates with you guys, mimosas, and quality time spent in the dirt!!

I totally agree with your comment about why some people dislike raisins. They spend big money for other dried fruit but won't touch a raisin. Why? Since I live in the raisin capital of the U.S. (world?) I love and can't get enough raisins. And since I love "french toast", waffles, and RUM also, I'm going to have a party. !!!

Those look divine! I was planning some Valentine's weekend waffle action, but you've taken things to a whole new level... Love this!

You had me at rum for breakfast. YUM!
Christin@SpicySouthernKitchen says
Now I know why I've never been a fan of raisins. I haven't soaked them in rum. This looks like such an amazing breakfast!

Boozy waffles?!! I'm in love! ♥

Well good morning to you too, sweetness! That's a breakfast worth waking up early for right there. Totally spot on with the Valentine's Day suggestions, too... ;)
