You’re amazing, look at the Toad In The Hole dishes you’ve made…
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 to know in the blurb!
We really hate the dark nights drawing in, when it feels like summer came and went in no time at all. Like so many others during the colder months, we tend to steer towards hearty, comforting meals that are quick and easy.
This must be a familiar story, as so many members of our Facebook group love this recipe like we do! In fact, this was a Sunday treat growing up and even now it still feels naughty, despite being much lower in calories and points than a traditional, full-fat version.
Toad In The Hole is also affordable and easy enough to feed the whole family all in one go: who doesn’t love the cracking combo of Yorkshire puddings and juicy sausages?!
It’s a delicious twist on a classic Yorkshire Pudding recipe, adding some protein from the sausages and turning it into a proper comfort food dinner. You could put your own twist on this too, by adding onions, some spicy sausages or even some red onion marmalade.
Do you need any special ingredients to make this Toad in the Hole Recipe?
Nope! Everything in this recipe is easily found in the local supermarket. Use whichever low fat sausage you prefer, but do remember the points and calorie count may differ, so adjust accordingly.

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

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 .?

This is in the oven now! Excited to see how it comes out! ????
Emma TMonday 11th September 2017
Hi Jessica,
Hope you enjoyed them!
TraceySunday 6th August 2017
Maybe a stupid question but can almond milk or any of the alternative milks be substituted in sauces and batters?
Emma TMonday 11th September 2017
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!
GillSunday 23rd July 2017
Will try this in the week. It’s one of hubbys recipes. Thanks
KarenSaturday 15th July 2017
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
Emma TTuesday 12th September 2017
Hi Karen,
If you use tasty sausages then you’ll find you don’t need any extra herbs ????
ZoeThursday 15th June 2017
What size tin please?
KayMonday 12th June 2017
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
