Cinnamon Roll Waffles
Cinnamon Roll Waffles are incredibly fluffy, chewy, and crispy all at the same time. You won’t believe how easy it is to make cinnamon rolls in a waffle maker!
These cinnamon rolls are especially fun for kids (and grown-ups!)
I got to thinking one day… why not make cinnamon rolls in a waffle maker?
Why not, indeed.
These are our new favorite thing – EVER!
Let’s face it, these waffles are pretty decadent, even for brunch. In fact, these babies are probably in the dessert category, really! (Imagine them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!) But for Easter or maybe a birthday, this is a fun and special treat.
Ingredients
You literally only need two simple ingredients for this recipe!
- Store-bought Cinnamon Rolls
- Cooking Spray
Yes, that’s really all you need! This isn’t so much a recipe as a tutorial on how to make cinnamon rolls in a waffle maker.
How do you keep waffles warm?
Making these waffles does take a little time, so here’s a tip on how to keep them warm. Once you’re done with a couple of cinnamon rolls in the waffle maker, place them in the oven to keep warm. This is what I do: add a cooling rack on top of a large sheet pan and lay the waffles out. Set the oven to warm and place the trays in the oven.
Serving Suggestions
Instead of the icing, serve your cinnamon roll waffles with brown sugar butter, maple butter, or cinnamon honey butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
