Make these Cinnamon Roll Waffles if you’re looking for something really decadent and delicious to make for a special weekend breakfast!

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

I’ve had a tough time forgetting about those Cinnamon Roll Pancakes that I posted a few weeks ago. So much so that I started wondering what else I could do to replicate the Cinnamon Roll. “Why not waffles, too?” I thought. I experimented… but it was a flop. I tried to create them just as I did with the pancakes- pouring in batter first and then swirling the cinnamon-sugar filling inside. The waffle iron didn’t like that very much. It turned out to be a big mess, and then it turned out to be a big, burned mess. I cleaned it all up and then decided to go a different route.

I went with a buttermilk waffle… plain, with no cinnamon filling added.  So boring and blah- but not for long.

I drizzled the cinnamon-sugar filling on top.

I figured… why not? Did it really matter if the filling was inside the waffle or outside the waffle? Nope.

My ideal cinnamon roll always has cream cheese icing, so a cream cheese icing drizzle was in order too.

Lots of cream cheese icing, please. No syrup on these waffles, no sirree!

I could hardly wait to take a bite… to see if this whole Cinnamon Roll Waffle thing worked out.

Eating Cinnamon Roll Waffles

That’s about all I could eat. Not because it wasn’t good. It was good. REALLY good. All the flavors of a cinnamon roll drizzled onto a stack of waffles. Perfect. So I tasted, then passed it along to the rest of my family, then planned my daily trip to the gym. It’s quite a decadent breakfast/brunch treat, but nothing worse than a cinnamon roll, really. And those are perfectly okay to have once in a while, right?

Ingredients

WAFFLES:

CINNAMON TOPPING:

CREAM CHEESE TOPPING:

Instructions 

PREPARE THE WAFFLES:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture; set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened; batter will be slightly lumpy.
  • Preheat a waffle iron and spray with nonstick spray. Pour the batter into the waffle iron grid and close the lid. Bake until the waffles are completely done- follow your waffle iron's instructions. Use a fork to remove the finished waffles. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the waffles warm until ready to serve (a 200 degree oven is perfect).

PREPARE THE CINNAMON TOPPING:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Scoop the filling into a small zip baggie and set aside.

PREPARE THE CREAM CHEESE TOPPING:

  • In a medium, microwave-safe bowl- heat the butter and cream cheese for 30 to 60 seconds; just until melted. Stir together until smooth; whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

ASSEMBLE THE WAFFLES:

  • When ready to serve, place a waffle on a plate, drizzle cinnamon topping, then drizzle cream cheese topping. Use as much or as little as you'd like. Serve immediately.
