Autumn is officially here, so we decided to bring you one of our favourite comfort foods – Slimming World and Weight Watchers style, Toad In The Hole!
For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb 👍
We really hate the nights drawing in, summer came and went in no time at all. We used to have this as a rare Sunday treat when I was a kid during those cold winter months.
It would always have us pleading for more, and there would never be anything left. It’s just one of those real comforting dishes.
Toad In The Hole is very affordable and easy enough to feed the whole family all in one go. Any child is sure to like it too!
It’s a delicious twist on a classic Yorkshire Pudding recipe. Talking of which, we have an amazing 1.5 syn Yorkshire Pudding recipe here.
You may have noticed that the recipe calls for 6 sausages but the pictures only show 4.
This is because our tin wasn’t big enough to hold all 6 so we had to split the recipe between 2 tins. But if you use a decent size tray then you can get all six in no problem.
You could put your own twist on this to, by adding onions, some spicy sausages or even some red onion marmalade.
Whenever we need to replace oil in cooking we use Frylight. Perfect for everyday frying and cooking, it delivers exactly one calorie per spray, which makes it Syn free! The Sunflower or Rapeseed Oil flavours are ideal for this Low Syn Toad In The Hole recipe.
What Sausages should I use for this Toad In The Hole?
Use whichever low fat sausage you prefer, but do remember their Syn value, points and calorie count may differ, so adjust accordingly.
Some of you love this Low Syn Toad In The Hole recipe!

Please don't take a screenshot. These recipes are updated often!
- 6 Low Fat Pork Sausages adjust the syns depending on which sausages you use

- In a bowl whisk the eggs, flour, milk and salt until there are no lumps, set aside in the fridge
- Remove the sausages from the oven, then turn it up to 210°C
- Spray the oven tray with a decent amount of Frylight, then put it in the oven until it starts to foam (probably about 5 minutes)
- Place the sausages in the pre heated tray, give the batter a quick stir and pour it into they tray with the sausages
- Cook at 210°C
- Do not open the oven door, but after about 10 minutes turn the oven down to just under 200°C and allow to cook for another 5 - 10 minutes (you should be able to take a look after about 15 minutes)

Thank you pinch of nom
Having this for tea tonight xx
Made this tonight and was absolutely gorgeous!
So is this for three people? How would the syns alter if I used the slimming world sausages available at Iceland? 🙂 thanks!
Hi amy,
Yes this is for 3 people and yup the sausages available at Iceland 💕
Agree with everyone-made for lunch and was beautiful!
Are these Temps for a fan assisted oven? Just making it for the other half now😆
Yes, we use a fan assisted oven
Going to try this tomorrow.
Going to try this, love toad in the hole
Giving this a try for dinner later today
Looks yummy will definitely try this
I made this last night, it was lovely, my husband enjoyed it too, will defo be making it again, thank you 😊
Going to make this for my tea tomorrow it looks delicious x
I’m definitely going to try this for something different . I always use Porky Whites light 0.5 syns each and they tast like a real banger… so can’t wait.
Hi Jean,
We’ve only just discovered the joys of Porky Lights and I agree, they do taste just like a ‘proper’ sausage. I think they would be fab to use this recipe
Looks delicious
Looks really delicious
Fabulous recipe! Bit of a favourite in our house now! I have found it works best in either a metal/ceramic dish though. So tasty!
Does the milk have to be syned? Can we not just have it as part of our HEa? Looks lush and i’m going to be making it 🙂
Hi Jay
Yes you could use part of your HEA allowance, but in order to keep things as simple as possible we decided to syn it.
Please do you have recipe for the gravy to go with toad in the hole? Going try this thanks
Hi Toni
Yes we do. Some people may consider it a tweak because you are using potato in it. Personally we don’t think it is, but it’s up to you if you want to syn it or not. For the amount that you’re going to use, and as long as it’s part of a balanced meal with at least 1/3 of your plate is speed food then we don’t see the issue.

We had this for dinner tonight, along with the broccoli cheese. They were both amazing! Thank you so much, your website is a fantastic help!!! 😄
Hi Amy
So glad you’re enjoying the recipes and you’re finding the website helpful 🙂
Have made this a few times now and all the family enjoy it.
One of my favourite meals 🙂
Made this first lunch today and it was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
Hi Jo
It’s one of our favourites too!
WINNER!!! Enjoyed by the whole family.
Hi Tracy,
So glad you enjoyed it! 💕
Made this for the first time today and it was delicious – even my boyfriend thought so! It will def be a new favourite in our house! X
Hi Rachel,
So glad you enjoyed it!
I’m definitely going to try this it looks amazing and for only 3 syns per portion that’s fantastic.
Hi Wendy
It’s become a favourite of ours! Who would’ve thought you could still enjoy food like this and stick to plan
ThIs was delicious but a little eggy! What size eggs should I have used? I was unsure so I used 1 large and 1 medium egg
Hi Lizzi
We generally use medium sized eggs
I used slimming world sausages which are free so how many syns would that make it?
Hi Leah
If you use syn free sausages you would only need to syn the flour for 4.5 syns and the milk for 1.5 which means it would work out at 2 syns per pertion
This has become a firm favourite I made it for myself a couple of weeks ago and then again tonight for me and my hubby. He’s asked when we can have it again!
Hi Sarah
It’s a favourite of ours too!
I am so excited to be making this tonight 🙂
Hi I only want to make it for 2 People so how can I cut the syns down using porky lights
Hi Angie
If you click in the box that says the portion number you can change the number of servings you require. Doing this will adjust the ingredients accordingly
Hi, if this recepie is for 3 people and the dish works out 6 syns in all is that 2 syns serving or is it 3 syns per serving regardless of how much you have made.
Hope that makes sense. Love toad in the hole just wanna make sure i syn properly. I will be using Icelands SW Sausages as i love em!
x
Hi Lynda
The recipe card shows the number of portions and the number of Syns is based on the sausages we used. (Protein Food Shop sausages, which are 1.5 Syns each.)
If you use different sausages, you would need to check the Syn values. Hope this helps.
Will try this
Hi Lyn
It’s one of our favourites
Hi there,
When it says Low Fat Sausages, what brand is everyone using? I don’t normally have sausages.
Thanks 🙂
Hi Georgia
We use sausages from the Protein Food Shop. They’re the best sausages we’ve tasted and well worth the 1.5syns each. We’ve written a review here;
http://pinchofnom.com/protein-food-shop-sausages-review-slimming-world/
Going to try tomorrow carnt wait
Hi Kim
Hope you like it!
looks like a nice mid week meal but was looking for the method for the gravy which looks tasty mmmmh
Hi Diane
You’ll find the gravy recipe if you go here
Going to try this on the family one night this week
Hi Michelle
I don’t think they’ll be disappointed! It’s one of our favourites
Made this tonight and had clean plates all round, this has become a new favourite in our house x
Hi Claire
Glad you like it
Hi, just wondeting whetber you’re going to warn your readers about the real syn value of Porky Lights? The reciprs are greaf and I know you say people should check syn values for themselves but not everyine does, and thete is such a huge diffetence here that it would be very helpful if you alerted everyone they need to count 4.5 syns for Porky Lights. There are loads of good low syn sausages out there as alternatives. Thanks.
Hi Angela
When there are any changes made to Syn values, Healthy Extras etc we do try to update all the recipes as quickly as we can. However, as I’m sure you can appreciate, we have over 300 recipes on the site so this can take a little time.
Fab recipe and low syns too . Making it tonight. Thanks
Hi Nancy
It’s become one of our favourites too
How many syns just for the batter please?
Hi Emily
If you take a look at the recipe card, we show the Syn values for the flour and milk used to make the batter. This may vary depending on the flour, please check the SW app for the brand that you use.
Hi Kate, I just got some pork and leek sausages from The Protein Food shop, I synned them and they came out at 5.5 each- how did yours come out at 1-? Have I bought the wrong ones or am I doing something daft?
Hi Pam
Did you add on the free food allowance when you worked out the Syns?
I live in n Ireland don’t have access to major supermarkets I would love if you put up a menu for a week then I could shop n only buy whats on the list and amounts for each meal n snacks thank you gv xx
Hi Geraldine
Thanks for getting in touch. We have our meal planners on the website, which you could use to plan a menu for the week. http://pinchofnom.com/meal-planner/syn-free-meal-plans/
Hope this helps.
Hi Kate
I put that it had a free food allowance of pork in it- but they still out at 5.5 each- I knew it seemed too high for such a low cal/fat product- what have I done wrong?
Hi Pam,
We’re just running them through the calculator and they come in at 1.5 per sausage – you can see here – http://pinchofnom.d.pr/u87bvU/54sBpqTM
What size tin please?
Hi Zoe
You’ll need a tin/dish large enough to fit 6 sausages comfortably with space for the Yorkshire pudding batter to expand too!
Hi Kay
I made the pon toad in the hole today. It was lovely and crispy but lacking in taste as I used the Heck chicken sausages. Next time I will add mustard powder. What herbs do you think would work in the batter mix please? TIA
Hi Karen,
If you use tasty sausages then you’ll find you don’t need any extra herbs 😊
Will try this in the week. It’s one of hubbys recipes. Thanks
Hi Gill. I’m sure you’ll both enjoy it. Our toad in the Hole is a big hit with lots of our members on the group page!
Maybe a stupid question but can almond milk or any of the alternative milks be substituted in sauces and batters?
Hi Tracey,
I’ve not tried substituting but I believe they work the same – you would have to give it a go and see how they turn out!
This is in the oven now! Excited to see how it comes out! 💕
Hi Jessica,
Hope you enjoyed them!
Thank you so much for a fab recipe. It went down really well with hubby who’s not doing Slimming World. It’s a keeper in this household. 😀
Hi Nicola
It’s a favourite in our house too! Thanks for getting in touch.
I’m using SOSMIX vegetarian Sausage meat that you have to mix with water. I do not like any other veggie sausage but I don’t know the calories of it . Does anyone else know .?
Hi Anne
We don’t have nutritional information, I’m afraid. Please check the Slimming World website for Syn Values. 🙂
10/10 from the hubby!!
Hi Kathryn
Excellent score from the hubby…hope you enjoyed it too! 😉
Cooked this yesterday and was great just like the real thing.
Thank you Kate great recipes and website.
Hi Sheila
So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Think I boo bood with this. Not sure my dish was large enough and also the batter was very eggy, think my eggs were too large. So didn’t quite hit the mark. Going to give it a go with smaller eggs though
Hi Eileen
We use medium eggs in our recipes, which might make a difference. Please give them another try, we have lots of very positive comments about the recipe from people who’ve made it and loved it!
Hi,
Looks like a great recipe, can’t wait to try it. Just wondered which types of the sausages from protein world were a syn each? Is it just the low fat pork or Cumberland, Pork & Leek Sausages and Lincolnshire Sausages too?
Hi Becky
All the info for the Protein Food Shop Sausages is here! http://pinchofnom.com/protein-food-shop-sausages-review-slimming-world/
have made this loads of times now, great recipe thank you!
Hi Victoria
So glad you’re enjoying the recipe! 🙂
Could you make mini ones and then freeze for mini toad in the hole or is this recipe not freezable? Love the recipe! Thankyou xx
Hi Emily
Why not try our Yorkshire pudding batter, which can be cooked and frozen. http://pinchofnom.com/recipes/1-5-syn-yorkshire-puddings/ 🙂

So glad you enjoyed it, Laura. It’s a big favourite in our house, too! 🙂

Fab recipes
Thanks for getting in touch, Carol. So glad you enjoy them! 🙂
Finally about to make and try this recipe as we speak as a late Sunday lunch 🙂
Ooooh! Enjoy it, Sophie! 🙂
This was excellent! Just made it and can’t wait to try it again. Going to do Yorkshire puds with this mix next since it rose so well
So glad you enjoyed it, Kayleigh! 🙂
Hi want to make this today, my BF is gluten free. Will this work just as well if i substitute plain flour for gluten free flour? TIA
Hi Sarah
We haven’t made this recipe with GF flour, but it should be fine. Let us know how you get on. 🙂
I just made this tonight it was very tasty but I just didn’t feel it was crispy enough and still a bit soggy inside, any advice??
Hi Davina
We use medium eggs in our recipes, so it may be the size of eggs used. You also need to make sure you get the pan really hot before adding the Yorkshire pudding batter. Hope that helps. 🙂
M & S skinny sausages are also an option 3% and super tasty not to pricey.
Thanks, Ian! 🙂
Try ed this tonight was lovely, definitely do again yum
Fantastic, Julie! So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
