Cinnamon Roll Waffles
Is there anything more tempting than cinnamon rolls in the morning? How about a new twist on a breakfast favorite that meshes thick golden waffles with sweet cinnamon buns and icing? The combo is as decadent as it sounds!
Cinnamon rolls in waffle maker are so easy— especially when you use refrigerated cinnamon buns! My family is a fan of Pillsbury Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls, but ANY refrigerated canned cinnamon bun can be used. Just make sure the dough comes with a pack of icing because you’ll want to drizzle it on top of the waffles!
This cinnamon roll waffle recipe is more like a how-to as there’s no prepping or mixing involved. All you need is canned cinnamon rolls with icing and a waffle maker.
