Cinnamon Bun Waffles
Breakfast just got a total glow up with these cinnamon bun waffles. Imagine this, if a cinnamon bun and a waffle had a baby this would be it. These waffles are perfectly fluffy, with the tiniest touch or crisp on the outside. Add in the vanilla and cinnamon flavor, and these are dangerously good. Like so good, you might need to make two batches because you ate the first one by mistake.
Honestly, I always considered myself a pancake person until now. These cinnamon bun waffles are exactly what you need during your next brunch. What’s great, is that they only take 30 minutes to make. I know homemade waffles sound complex but trust me, they’re so easy and worth it. Your friends and family will be blown away by how delicious these waffles are.
I served mine with a cinnamon vanilla glaze, but you can use maple syrup, butter, berries or whipped cream. Basically, any topping you enjoy would tastes great with these. This recipe makes five large waffles which is perfect for two to three hungry people.

These waffles are amazing!! I was able to whip these up quickly for breakfast. All of the ingredients I had already which was a major bonus. Highly recommend these waffles, they are delicious & easy to make !!
These waffles are A-mazing! I mean… cinnamon roll meets waffle goodness! A huge hit with my family…even my husband. (He usually prefers savory over sweet! ) I double the cinnamon glaze and we skip the syrup. All of the ingredients I have on hand on the regular. This one is definitely a keeper!
