    Cinnamon Roll Waffles

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Cinnamon roll waffles are a flavorful combination thought up by some genius out there, and I tip my hat to the wonderful person with such a brain. This breakfast treat is truly hard to beat.

    If you've never had cinnamon rolls on a waffle maker like this before, then let me introduce you to a revolutionary breakfast idea. Waffle iron cinnamon rolls are fast, easy, and only take one ingredient to make.

    Made with canned cinnamon rolls, this breakfast requires almost no prep at all! They're as easy to make as Air Fryer Canned Cinnamon Rolls, but they're served up in a fun new fashion.

    Cooked in a waffle maker instead of the oven, you get the tasty cinnamon rolls you love but in a golden crisp shell with a soft and fluffy inside and then topped off with icing. Oohh, yum, the combination is magical.

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's simple. One ingredient and a few moments of your time is all you need (plus a waffle iron, obviously). This is still faster than traditional waffles.
    2. It's delicious. Crispy, soft, flavorful waffles packed with cinnamon flavor- its everything you like about cinnamon rolls but in a fun new shape.
    3. You can use cheap cinnamon rolls. Use any type of canned cinnamon roll you like from the cheap small ones to the bigger luxury ones, this recipe turns out great either way.

    🥘 Ingredient

    Canned cinnamon rolls- You can use any brand of cinnamon rolls desired. I usually go for the cheaper brands, but even Pillsbury turns out wonderful. Large or small just make sure there's enough for everyone and that you plan on people eating 2-4 each because 1 is never enough.

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make cinnamon roll waffles with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Preheat your waffle maker so that it is nice and hot.

    Open the can of cinnamon rolls and untangle/re-wrap any rolls that need it. Set the icing aside.

    Spray your waffle maker with nonstick cooking spray.

    Place 4 cinnamon rolls onto the waffle maker (or just one or two if you have a mini waffle maker). You want the rolls well spaced so that each one gets a corner.

    Close the lid and wait for the light to appear, saying that they are ready. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

    Open the lid and remove the cinnamon rolls. Repeat until all have been cooked.

    Place cinnamon roll waffles onto serving plates and drizzle the top with the icing that came in the can. Serve immediately.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Making this cinnamon roll waffle recipe is pretty simple. These waffles don't take up much space in a waffle maker, but you still want to make sure not to overcrowd them so that they can cook up properly.

    The amount of waffles you can fit onto the iron will depend upon he size of the waffle iron and the size of the cinnamon rolls. Bigger waffle irons mean more space, but bigger cinnamon rolls mean less per batch.

    Note that if you're using a mini waffle maker, then only plan to put one or two in at a time, this is because a smaller waffle maker means less space for the cinnamon rolls.

    Despite being thicker than regular waffle batter, these cinnamon rolls really don't take much time to cook and are finished before you know it making them a great brunch when you don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

    🥞 Topping Ideas

    For a fun flavor twist, you can dip the waffles in a blend of cinnamon sugar after cooking, but for some real fun here are some "out of the box" topping ideas:

    • The icing packet that comes with the cinnamon rolls
    • Cinnamon butter (like my Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter)
    • Powdered sugar
    • Peanut butter (melt it beforehand or spread on warm waffles)
    • Simple Berry Syrup

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    While these waffles taste incredible fresh, you can store leftovers for later too. You can keep any leftover waffles stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days. Alternatively, they can be frozen for up to 3 months.

    🍳 Reheating

    You can reheat your cinnamon roll waffles by placing them in the microwave for about 20 seconds or popping them in the air fryer at 360F for 2 minutes. The microwave will make the cinnamon rolls soft while the air fryer will help to make them crispy again.

    🥗 Side Dishes

    Serve these waffles up with your favorite breakfast side dishes like scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, fresh fruit, or bacon. There's no wrong side options as I'm sure everything will taste great.

    💭 FAQs

    Should I grease my waffle iron?

    Yes, spray some nonstick cooking spray/olive oil or brush with butter (whatever is recommended y your waffle makers manufacturer. This will help to prevent even browning and makes it easier to remove the waffles after they've cooked.

    How long do I cook cinnamon roll waffles?

    Depending on the size of your cinnamon rolls, you may find that they can be finished in 2 minutes or less. Check on your waffles after two minutes, and if they still need a little more time, close the lid and check again after another minute.

    Are cinnamon roll waffles faster to make than regular waffles?

    Yes! Canned cinnamon rolls just need to be popped out of the can and into a preheated iron while regular waffles need to have the ingredients measured, whisked, rested and then poured one at a time. You'll definitely save time with this "hack" of a recipe.
