What’s In Cinnamon Roll Waffles?

You are going to be shocked when I tell you that you probably already have all of these ingredients in your kitchen! This makes it a no-brainer to try these out now! See the recipe card below for a list of exact ingredient measurements.

Flour: I just used all purpose flour for this recipe! Baking powder: This is the ingredient that will help your waffles rise and get all fluffy! Salt:The salt is here to enhance the flavors of all of the other ingredients! Sugar: This balances out that strong cinnamon taste to make it perfect.Cinnamon: You can use more or less than this recipe calls for, depending on how strong you want the cinnamon flavor to be! Eggs: Adding eggs to your batter helps keep the waffles light.Buttermilk: You can use storebought buttermilk! Or, if you want to step this recipe up then be sure to make this homemade buttermilk!Vegetable oil: The oil keeps the waffles moist.Vanilla: A tiny bit of vanilla complements all of the other flavors so well!

Cream cheese glaze

Butter: Use unsalted butter that is at room temperature. It will mix better if it’s not cold!Cream cheese: Soften your cream cheese before using it by letting it sit out at room temperature for a while before you plan on baking with it. Powdered sugar: I use this instead of granulated sugar because this dissolves better and creates a much smoother glaze!Vanilla: This will add a tiny bit of flavor to the glaze.

Let’s Make Some Waffles!

These cinnamon roll waffles will be done in about 25 minutes! So cook them up for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner! They are amazing!

Don’t overmix: We all want to mix the batter to get all of the lumps and bumps out! But… If you overmix the batter then it becomes sticky and will not cook up as well! Mix until combined and then be done! Don’t open the lid: I know that it’s tempting to open the lid and check to see how the waffles are doing while they are cooking… But don’t do it! It can cause your waffle to rip in half and then it will never cook up normally. How to know when a waffle is done: If you are resisting lifting up the lid too soon then you are probably wondering how you know that they are done then! Well, the key to this is watching the steam! There should be steam coming out of the waffle maker as you cook them up. Then, when the waffle is done, the steam will stop! Go ahead and open the lid when you see the steam stop and your waffle should be cooked to perfection!

Mix-ins: You can try switching things up by putting things directly into the batter! Try some mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, shredded coconut or even some classic raisins! Toppings: If you love the batter how it is and just want to change out what you put on top, that’s super easy too! Try topping it with some berries, some chocolate sauce or mini chocolate chips. You could also try some sliced walnuts or almonds for a crunchy texture!

Refrigerate: If you know that you are going to be eating them more during the week then you don’t need to freeze them! Just place them in an airtight container in your fridge. They will last 3-4 days in there! Freezer: If you are making these ahead of time or making extras to save for breakfast or dinner later, then freezing them works great! Let the waffles cool down and then arrange them on a baking sheet. Then, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 2 hours. (Freezing them beforehand helps them not to stick together!) After that, you can take the waffles out and put them into a (labeled with the date) airtight container or ziplock bag. They will last for 3-4 months in your freezer. Reheating frozen waffles: If you are reheating your waffles from frozen, go ahead and preheat your oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Place the waffles on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper and cook them for 10-15 minutes (or until cooked through). Or, if you are only cooking one or two at a time then go ahead and cook them right up in your toaster!
