Report
Sweet Cinnamon Roll Waffles are the perfect celebratory breakfast or brunch! This from-scratch recipe starts with a buttermilk waffle base and has a sweet cinnamon-sugar layer swirled into the batter before the waffles bake. Topped with a cream cheese icing drizzle, this recipe exudes those classic cinnamon roll flavors without requiring a ton of time.

Ingredients
Cinnamon Swirl
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Waffles
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- Cream cheese icing
Instructions
Make the cinnamon swirl
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon and salt.
- Pour the melted butter into the sugar mixture, and stir to combine.
- Transfer to a plastic bag or a piping bag, and set aside. (This will help us swirl the mixture into the waffles without a lot of messiness. We’ll snip the bag when it’s time.)
- Let this sit for 20-30 minutes.
Make the waffles
- Combine the dry ingredients — the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt — in a large bowl and whisk together.
- In a smaller bowl, combine the wet ingredients — the buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract — and whisk until smooth.
- It is important to stir this vigorously so that the egg mixes into the rest of the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and slowly whisk together, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
- Make the waffles
- Preheat the waffle iron and spritz lightly with cooking spray. This is extremely important to keep the waffles from sticking to the iron.
- Pour ½ cup of the batter into the warmed waffle iron, spreading with a rubber spatula until at the edges.
- Drizzle a swirl of the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
- Cook per the manufacturer's instructions. (I like mine crispy on the outside, so I cook them on a higher setting. To each their own.)
- Remove the waffles from the iron when cooked through.
- If there is any excess cinnamon-sugar swirl on the waffle iron after removing a waffle, wipe it down with a damp cloth between rounds to remove. It can and will burn and make it trickier to remove the waffles from the iron. After wiping down, spritz with extra cooking spray.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of cream cheese icing or warm maple syrup. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cook time is for a single waffle and is dependent on your waffle maker.
- Leftover waffles store and freeze well! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or a toaster oven on a lower heat until crispy.
- To freeze, line a sheet pan with wax paper or parchment paper. Lay out the leftover waffles in a single layer. Transfer to the freezer, and freeze until frozen. Transfer to a plastic freezer baggie and keep frozen for up to 3 months.
