Description
Delight in a quick and delicious twist on classic cinnamon rolls by transforming them into warm, golden waffles topped with a creamy cinnamon maple glaze. This easy recipe uses store-bought cinnamon rolls and a rich, homemade glaze to create a perfect breakfast or brunch treat ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 5-pack store-bought cinnamon rolls
- 1 container of cream cheese icing (from the cinnamon roll package)
Glaze
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together the cream cheese icing and softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and whip until fully incorporated. Slowly mix in the heavy cream and maple syrup on a lower speed to combine. Finally, stir in the ground cinnamon. Set the glaze aside while you cook the waffles.
- Preheat the waffle maker: Heat your waffle maker to medium temperature and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the cinnamon roll waffles: Place one cinnamon roll directly in the center of the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 2½ minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Carefully remove it and set aside. Repeat this process with the remaining cinnamon rolls.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm cinnamon roll waffles generously with the prepared cinnamon maple glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of crispy waffle texture with soft cinnamon roll flavors.
Notes
- Using store-bought cinnamon rolls significantly cuts down preparation time while still delivering delicious results.
- If you prefer a thinner glaze, add a bit more heavy cream, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
- Waffle cook times may vary depending on your waffle maker’s heat settings; adjust accordingly to prevent burning or undercooking.
- Leftover waffles can be reheated in a toaster or oven to retain crispness.
