The Best cinnamon roll waffle recipe

I’m so excited to share this cinnamon roll waffle recipe with you all. It’s a game-changer in our household, and I know it will be in yours too.

I first discovered this recipe on a food blog a few years ago, and I was immediately hooked. The idea of combining the soft, fluffy texture of a waffle with the sweet, gooey goodness of a cinnamon roll was pure genius.

I’ve made this recipe countless times since then, and it never fails to impress my family and friends. My kids love helping me make the dough and rolling out the waffles, and they always get excited when they see the finished product – who wouldn’t want a sweet treat for breakfast?!

The best part is that this recipe is actually quite healthy, considering how delicious it is. We use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, which not only makes it more nutritious but also gives it a slightly nuttier flavor.

And because we’re using rolled oats instead of sugar, we can feel good about indulging in this treat without feeling too guilty. Plus, the cinnamon and sugar mixture on top adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the other flavors.

It’s really a perfect recipe for any occasion – whether you’re looking for a special breakfast on the weekends or a fun brunch idea for your friends.

🥘Ingredients

For the Waffle Batter

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions, typically to medium-high heat.
2In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
3In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
5In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the swirl until smooth.
6Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
7Pour about 1/2 cup of waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly.
8Pipe a spiral of cinnamon mixture onto the batter, then close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
9Repeat with remaining batter and swirl.
10For the glaze, beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
11Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, beating until the glaze is thick and pourable.
12Drizzle the glaze over the warm waffles and serve immediately.
