These Cinnamon Roll Waffles are a fun twist on the classic treat! They are fluffy, sweet, and swirled with cinnamon and sugar, all topped with a yummy icing.
Making them is a breeze! Just whip up the dough, pop it in the waffle maker, and enjoy. I love how they smell while cooking—it’s like a warm hug for your kitchen! 😊
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Cinnamon Roll Dough: Grab a can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough for convenience. If you prefer homemade, you can use a basic cinnamon roll recipe instead or buy pre-made dough from the bakery section.
Icing: The icing comes with the dough, which is super convenient! However, if you want a change, you could make your own using powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for a homemade touch.
Butter or Non-Stick Spray: Either works well, but I recommend butter for a richer flavor. If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, be sure to use a reliable non-stick spray.
How Do I Get the Perfect Waffle Texture?
Getting the right texture for your cinnamon roll waffles is key to enjoying them fully. Here’s how:
- Preheat your waffle iron well to ensure even cooking. If it’s not hot enough, the waffles can come out soggy.
- Don’t overcrowd the waffle iron. One cinnamon roll per waffle works best to allow it to spread and rise properly.
- Cook until golden brown. Keep an eye on your waffles as cooking times can vary between waffle makers, so check after 3 minutes!
These simple steps will help you get waffles that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Enjoy your sweet treat! 😊
Cinnamon Roll Waffles
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
- Butter or non-stick spray for waffle iron
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional for extra drizzle)
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional for icing drizzle)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and cook, depending on your waffle maker. In just a short time, you can have warm and delicious Cinnamon Roll Waffles ready to enjoy!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Waffle Iron:
Start by preheating your waffle iron so it’s nice and hot. While it’s heating up, lightly coat the plates with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Dough:
Open your can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and gently separate the rolls. Each roll should be used individually, so you’ll have a delicious waffle each time!
3. Cooking the Waffles:
Take one cinnamon roll and place it in the center of the preheated waffle iron. You can slightly spread it to fit, but be careful not to crowd it with too many rolls in one go.
4. Close and Cook:
Close the waffle iron and cook for about 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on it! The waffles should turn golden brown and be cooked all the way through. Remember, cooking times can vary, so adjust as needed for your waffle maker.
5. Remove and Transfer:
Gently lift your waffle out of the iron and place it on a serving plate. Be careful, as they can be hot!
6. Drizzle with Icing:
While your waffle is still warm, drizzle the icing packet that came with the cinnamon rolls over the top. For an extra special touch, you can mix together some powdered sugar and milk to create additional icing for drizzling.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Your warm and gooey Cinnamon Roll Waffles are ready to enjoy! Serve them immediately while they’re hot and delicious!
This quick recipe transforms classic cinnamon rolls into a crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside waffle that’s perfect for a sweet breakfast or brunch treat. Enjoy! 😊
Can I Use Frozen Cinnamon Rolls Instead?
Yes, you can use frozen cinnamon rolls! Just make sure to thaw them completely before placing them in the waffle iron. You can thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or use the microwave for a quick thawing option. Be sure to let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cooking!
How Do I Store Leftover Waffles?
If you have leftover cinnamon roll waffles, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast treat! Just add a little more icing for that fresh taste.
Can I Make the Dough from Scratch?
Absolutely! If you prefer homemade, you can use your favorite cinnamon roll dough recipe. Just be sure to follow the baking instructions for consistency in texture and flavor. Adjust the cooking time in the waffle maker as needed!
What Can I Serve With Cinnamon Roll Waffles?
These waffles are delicious on their own, but they pair well with fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a scoop of ice cream for a decadent dessert twist!
