Few breakfast foods spark nostalgia quite like Eggo waffles. For decades, Eggo has been a staple in freezers across America, with its iconic “L’eggo My Eggo” commercials becoming part of pop culture history. While classics like Homestyle and Buttermilk still reign supreme, many beloved Eggo flavors have come and gone over the years. From fruity favorites to dessert-inspired delights, these discontinued Eggo flavors left a lasting impression on breakfast lovers everywhere.
Let’s take a look back at 12 discontinued Eggo flavors that we’d love to see in freezers once again.
1. Eggo Banana Bread Waffles
Introduced: Early 2000s
Discontinued: Mid-2010s
Eggo’s Banana Bread Waffles were a fan-favorite twist on the classic waffle formula. With a taste that mimicked homemade banana bread, these waffles had a soft texture and subtle sweetness that made them perfect for breakfast or dessert. Despite their popularity, Banana Bread Waffles were quietly discontinued in the mid-2010s, and fans have been clamoring for their return ever since.
2. Eggo Strawberry Shortcake Waffles
Introduced: Early 2000s
Discontinued: Early 2010s
Taking inspiration from the classic summer dessert, Eggo Strawberry Shortcake Waffles combined the flavors of sweet strawberries and shortcake into a convenient breakfast waffle. The waffle’s strawberry-flavored batter made it stand out, offering a fruity punch with every bite. It was discontinued in the early 2010s, leaving fans of this seasonal flavor longing for its return.
3. Eggo Chocolate Chip Waffles (Original Version)
Introduced: 1998
Discontinued: Reformulated in 2013
While Eggo still sells chocolate chip waffles today, the original version had larger, more prominent chocolate chips baked into the batter. This earlier version had a richer, more buttery flavor, which many fans believe was superior to the current recipe. The original version was quietly reformulated in 2013, leading to complaints from fans nostalgic for the bigger, chunkier chocolate chips.
4. Eggo Blueberry Waffles (Original Recipe)
Introduced: 1979
Discontinued: Reformulated in 2010
Eggo Blueberry Waffles remain on store shelves today, but older fans swear the flavor isn’t the same. The original recipe from the 1980s and 90s featured larger, juicier blueberries that popped with flavor. When the recipe was reformulated around 2010, some loyal fans felt it lacked the vibrant taste they’d grown up loving. While it’s not technically “discontinued,” it’s definitely different from what it used to be.
5. Eggo French Toast Waffles
Introduced: 1995
Discontinued: Early 2000s
Eggo’s French Toast Waffles were the perfect blend of two breakfast classics. They had the cinnamon-sugar flavor of French toast combined with the crispy texture of a waffle. Unlike regular French toast, they were toaster-friendly, which made them a time-saver for busy mornings. Despite their deliciousness, they were discontinued in the early 2000s, but fans still reminisce about this breakfast hybrid.
6. Eggo Apple Cinnamon Waffles
Introduced: 1997
Discontinued: Early 2010s
The Apple Cinnamon flavor was perfect for fall mornings, offering the warm taste of apples and cinnamon in every bite. The sweet and spiced aroma that filled the kitchen when they toasted was unforgettable. But in the early 2010s, Eggo quietly pulled them from production. Fans continue to request their return, especially during autumn when demand for cinnamon-flavored everything is at its peak.
7. Eggo Whole Wheat Waffles (Original Recipe)
Introduced: 1993
Discontinued: Reformulated in 2010s
As health trends shifted in the 1990s, Eggo released Whole Wheat Waffles as a “better-for-you” breakfast option. However, by the early 2010s, the original recipe was discontinued in favor of “Multigrain” waffles. Many health-conscious consumers argue that the original whole wheat version had a better flavor and texture compared to the denser, grainier multigrain option.
8. Eggo Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll Waffles
Introduced: 2008
Discontinued: 2012
For those with a sweet tooth, Eggo’s Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll Waffles felt like a treat for breakfast. This dessert-inspired flavor had the warm, gooey flavor of a cinnamon roll baked right into the waffle. However, despite positive reception, they were discontinued just a few years later in 2012. Fans still mention these waffles on social media, calling for their return.
9. Eggo Oat Bran Waffles
Introduced: 1992
Discontinued: Late 1990s
Launched during the oat bran health craze of the early 1990s, Eggo Oat Bran Waffles offered a fiber-packed alternative to traditional waffles. Despite riding the wave of oat bran’s popularity, they didn’t last long. By the late 1990s, they were phased out in favor of more “family-friendly” flavors like chocolate chip and strawberry.
10. Eggo Pumpkin Spice Waffles (Limited Edition)
Introduced: 2013
Discontinued: 2014
Pumpkin Spice fever hit everywhere in the 2010s, and Eggo got in on the craze. The limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Waffles were released for fall 2013 but didn’t return the next year, leaving many disappointed. Since then, fans have requested their return every autumn, but Kellogg’s has yet to bring them back. This is a beloved discontinued flavor that deserves a return.
11. Eggo S’mores Waffles
Introduced: 2006
Discontinued: 2009
This campfire-inspired flavor featured chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker flavors baked into a single waffle. Despite its fun and playful concept, S’mores Waffles were discontinued in 2009, after only a few short years on the market. This discontinued eggo is especially tough for me because I never got to try it!
12. Eggo Waf-Fuls
Introduced: 2000
Discontinued: 2009
Eggo Waf-Fuls were stuffed waffles with fillings like blueberry, strawberry, and apple. Unlike traditional waffles, Waf-Fuls didn’t need syrup, as the filling provided all the flavor. Despite their unique concept, they were discontinued in 2009, but their uniqueness still resonates with nostalgic fans. In 2023, Kellogg’s confirmed on X.com that they were discontinued “because they did not have enough fans.”
Conclusion
While Eggo still dominates the frozen waffle aisle, these discontinued flavors hold a special place in our hearts.
