How to Make Cinnamon Rolls in a Waffle Maker

1. Preheat your waffle maker.
   While it heats, separate the cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside.
2. Add the cinnamon rolls.
   • For a round waffle maker, place one cinnamon roll in the center.
   • For a square waffle maker, place one cinnamon roll in each section.
3. Cook until golden.
   Close the waffle maker and cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through.
4. Drizzle and serve.
   Remove carefully, drizzle with the reserved icing, and serve warm.

That’s it. Breakfast magic, accomplished.

If you try these cinnamon roll waffles, I’d love to hear how they turned out! And if you’re looking for more quick breakfast ideas that feel special without the work, stick around, I’ve got plenty more where this came from. 💛

Tools we love

• Belgium waffle maker – This electric waffle maker makes four gorgeous perfect fluffy waffles.
• Oil mister – This is the perfect gift for folks who want to make sure they know exactly what they’re spraying on their pans.  We like to put olive oil in ours, but you could use anything from vegetable oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or whatever you like!  Just pump the top a few times and it sprays a fine mist of the oil you chose.
