How Can You Make the Perfect Waffle?
Making waffles from cinnamon roll dough is a fun twist! Here’s how to get that perfect, golden finish:
- Ensure your waffle iron is preheated and greased lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- Don’t overcrowd; just use one roll at a time. This helps it cook evenly.
- Keep an eye on it; cooking times might vary. Look for a golden brown color as your cue to check for doneness.

Cinnamon Roll Waffles
Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing, about 8 rolls)
- Butter, for topping
- Optional: fresh strawberries or other fruit, for serving
Time Needed:
This delightful recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and another 15 minutes to cook, making a total of about 25 minutes. You’ll have warm, gooey cinnamon roll waffles ready in no time!
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Waffle Iron:
Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It’s important to get it nice and hot for the best texture.
2. Prepare the Dough:
Open the package of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and gently separate each roll. Don’t worry; they should pop apart easily!
3. Cook the Waffles:
Take one cinnamon roll and place it in the center of the preheated waffle iron. Carefully close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on it until the waffle turns golden brown and is cooked through. Remember, cooking times can vary depending on your specific waffle iron.
4. Serve the Waffles:
Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle from the iron and place it on a plate. While it’s still warm, drizzle the yummy icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls over the top.
5. Add Toppings:
Finish off with a pat of butter on top for that extra deliciousness! You can also serve it warm with fresh strawberries or your favorite fruit on the side for a fruity kick.
6. Repeat:
Now that you know the steps, repeat the process with the remaining cinnamon roll dough until all your waffles are made.
Enjoy your crispy, gooey cinnamon roll waffles fresh from the iron! They’re perfect for a cozy breakfast or a fun brunch treat! 🌟
Can I Use Frozen Cinnamon Roll Dough Instead?
Yes, you can use frozen cinnamon roll dough! Just make sure to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours before cooking. Remember, cooking time might be slightly longer if the dough is still cold.
How Should I Store Leftover Waffles?
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in a toaster or oven for that fresh-from-the-iron taste!
Can I Make These Without a Waffle Iron?
If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can bake the cinnamon rolls in a muffin tin for a similar treat. Just follow the package instructions but place the rolls in the tin and cook until golden and cooked through.
What Toppings Can I Use Besides Icing?
You can get creative with toppings! Try whipped cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, or even a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Fresh fruit like bananas or blueberries also make great additions for added flavor and nutrition!
