The first time I made these Cinnamon Roll Waffles, my kitchen smelled like the coziest bakery ever. The golden edges, soft inside, and sweet cinnamon swirl were pure happiness on a plate. They’re a reminder that breakfast doesn’t have to be ordinary — it can be your little moment of joy. Every bite feels like a warm hug, and the glaze makes it almost too pretty to eat… almost.
🍂 Sweet Mornings, Elevated
Some breakfasts are just food… but some breakfasts are an experience. These Cinnamon Roll Waffles are exactly that — a warm, sweet hug on a plate. Each waffle is golden and fluffy, with swirls of cinnamon sugar baked right in. Add a drizzle of cream cheese glaze and watch your morning transform into a cozy, magical moment.
Whether it’s a lazy Sunday, a special brunch, or a treat-yourself morning, these waffles bring all the comfort of classic cinnamon rolls but with a crispy, waffle twist.
💕 A Bite of Pure Happiness
There’s something almost hypnotic about these waffles — maybe it’s the gooey cinnamon filling or the way the glaze pools in every crevice. When I made them, I couldn’t resist sneaking bites straight off the waffle iron. Each bite feels indulgent, comforting, and slightly nostalgic, like a sweet memory you can taste. Cinnamon Roll Waffles aren’t just a breakfast — they’re a little celebration in every forkful. 💛

🥣 Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups milk (or almond milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tbsp melted butter (plus more for waffle iron)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Make Dry Mix
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2: Make Wet Mix
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Step 3: Combine
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy — don’t overmix!
Step 4: Add Cinnamon Swirl
Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Gently swirl into the batter with a spoon — you want pockets of cinnamon goodness, not fully mixed in.
Step 5: Cook Waffles
Preheat and grease your waffle iron. Pour in batter and cook according to your waffle iron instructions until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 6: Make Glaze
Whisk powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle generously over warm waffles.
Step 7: Serve
Stack waffles, drizzle glaze, and if you want extra indulgence, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped nuts.
