Description
Deliciously indulgent waffles that combine the flavors of cinnamon rolls with a creamy drizzle of cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for cinnamon swirl)
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream cheese drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer’s guidance.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; avoid overmixing.
- In a small bowl, blend melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the center, then pipe a spiral of the cinnamon mixture onto the batter. Close and cook until golden and crisp, approximately 3–4 minutes per waffle. Repeat until all batter and swirl are used.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, mixing until the glaze is pourable.
- Serve waffles warm, generously drizzling with the cream cheese topping.
Notes
- Waffles can be made ahead and reheated in a toaster for a quick breakfast option.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the swirl to your taste.
- This recipe can be halved if you want to make a smaller batch.
