These 5 Warm, Scrumptious Breakfast Mash-Ups Make Mornings Better

It's almost mean: being forced to decide between French toast, pancakes, waffles, and all that is amazing about breakfast dishes. It's all so fluffy, bready, and so, so good doused in maple syrup. And we are supposed to choose? Well, maybe you don't have to! Here are a handful of recipes that kick things up a notch with a bit of a two-for-one deal in each. Those tough breakfast decisions just got a little bit easier.

1. Apple-Cinnamon French Toast Pancakes

These gluten-free pancakes are dipped in French toast batter, sent back to the skillet for a second time, the layered with cashew cream, sauteed apples, and raisins. Yeah, this recipe is not messing around.

2. Easy French Toast Waffles

Slices of egg-dipped brioche bread get the waffle treatment, serving up custardy goodness with a delicious dose of crispy. Watch the video to see how easy they are to make.

3. French Toast Waffles

4. Puff Pastry Waffles

This most exceptionally indulgent way of combining two favorite breakfast dishes is sure to be a crowd pleaser--and is beyond easy to prepare.

5. Beer Batter Crepes

If mimosas and bloody Mary's aren't quite beer-y enough for you, and you also happen to love crepes, this recipe should make you very, very happy. (And perhaps even pair a beer with them?)
