Mini Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches! Quick, easy to make and healthy! Made with Van’s Mini Waffles, these are the perfect back to school breakfast to get kids (and adults) ready for the day!
It’s that time of the year! When your Facebook feed is filled with photos of your friends’ kids with their backpacks! Back to school! Depending on where you live in the country, some of you are already geared up and heading back to school. My friends in California have already started the new school year and it’s been so great to see so many smiling faces. . the kids and the parents!
We don’t start school until September 1st but I’m already in full swing preparation! We just registered and took school photos (any other schools do this in the summer?) and now I’m focusing on healthy breakfast and lunch ideas.
My kids have to be at the bus stop by 7am. Yes, you read that correctly, 7am. So, during the school year, it’s very early days for all of us. I’m a morning person but my kids are not so it’s hard getting them up and out of bed.
Some mornings I have to bribe them with a bonus treat for breakfast or tell them which fun snacks that I’m sticking into their lunchbox. My oldest is obsessed with avocados. If there’s an avocado involved, she’s there. Just like her momma.
My kids and I are loving these 
Either way, these are extremely quick and easy to make. The waffles go directly into the toaster oven and while they are cooking, I slice the avocados. These mini waffle breakfast sandwiches are a healthy and balanced breakfast and just what kids and adults need in the mornings. I’ve even tried these with sliced hard-boiled eggs (which you make the night before, peel and have them ready to go in the fridge for the next morning); basically, don’t skip the eggs! Eggs are a great source of protein!

Kids in my area started school last Wednesday, and I’ve already noticed it a lot quieter in my neighborhood! That’s nice that your girls start school later. These mini waffle sandwiches are too cute, Alice! I would love a few of these for breakfast!
Gayle, exactly! These are great for kids and adults too!!! yeah, I like that they start later. . but that also means that they end later too!
This looks like such a great easy breakfast! I love how customizable it is 🙂 & early bus stops are no fun! As I know from experience 😉
Megan, it’s going to make them stronger right? 🙂 Maybe they will become morning people 🙂
As someone who works in a school, we’re there super early (in the 6s) to get ready for the kiddos. I’m in prep week right now, and it’s quieter without the students for sure!
These waffle sandwiches rock. I’m sure they keep your adorable posse full for many hours!
Thank you so much, Mir!!! Hope you have a fabulous school year!
These are so cute, and perfect for bake to school breakfasts. I have still never had a savoury waffle, but I really need to try one!
Dannii, you need to!!! so good!!!
7 am to catch the bus?! Wow, that’s super early for the kiddos!! I would imagine preparation for the day is key. So great that your oldest loves avocados. That’s definitely a good thing!
I just love food in mini form and these look absolutely delicious! Breakfast sandwiches are the best, especially when you combine them with waffles. Like a two in one breakfast, lol. Though, I would even eat these for dinner ! I have to try these soon 🙂
Dawn, yup, 7am. I know right?! Well, so far my oldest has been ok with it. . they are definitely more excited about school earlier in the year so we should be good until January! 😛
7 AM for the kiddos?! That is nuts! I always had a long bus ride here going to school because we lived in the country, but even so I only had to be on the bus at 7:45, then got to school at 8:45. 7AM is crazy! My kids would be so beat I think, I hope your girls get some time to rest during the week! And good luck to you! These breakfast sandwiches look like the perfect start to the day!
Ashley, thank you so much!!! yeah, I thought it was crazy at first .. and sometimes I still think it is . . but we’ll see how it goes. . especially for Madeline, since this is her first year of kindergarten .. I know she’s going to be wiped when she gets home.
I’m with your kids, I am NOT a morning person at all.. although I don’t sleep in, I also don’t function well either. haha. But THESE adorable mini waffle breakfast sammies would totally have me hopping out of bed! These are seriously the cutest breakfast sandwich EVER, Alice! And they look seriously delicious to boot!! Just perfect, girlfriend! Cheers!
Oh my gosh, your poor girls. 7 am is super early for them at that age. Hope they have a great first week back at school! These yummy breakfast sandwiches look like the perfect way to start the day!
Great video Alice! These mini waffle sandwiches are the cutest ever! Such a perfect way to kick off back-to-school!

this is such a great idea! love it Alice!
Yum, these sandwiches look great! They would be a hit for a brunch party too!
Love these, they’re adorable and healthy! My kids used to leave in the dark during some times of the school year, these would have come in handy!
Pretty sure I would demolish several of these bfast sandwiches in only one sitting! I mean, how could your day NOT start out on the right foot digging into one of these first thing in the morning??
I love this, Alice! What a fun and healthy breakfast idea!
This looks like a great breakfast. I will have to try it this week.
