My 3 Ingredient Breakfast on a Stick

Raise your hand if you’re a fan of food on a stick ?‍♀️ It’s just more fun eating something off one, isn’t it?! Just wait until you try my 3 ingredient breakfast on a stick. This hack works with any waffle batter, any type of sausage and is ready in less than 5 minutes! You can make these Keto, Low Carb, High Protein, GF, DF and even Vegan! The breakfast possibilities are endless ?

Start by grabbing your waffle maker (preferably mini) and waffle mix of choice. Here’s the link to my mini waffle maker!

For this next part, grab some coffee stirrers. Stick the coffee stirrer into a sausage patty of your choice and dip it into that waffle batter, fully coating the patty. My secret is maple bits, which I sprinkle on top of the waffle before closing the lid and cooking like normal.

And there you have it, breakfast on a stick in just minutes! It’s almost like a breakfast sandwich and a waffle had a baby? ??
