Do you ever wake up some mornings and wonder what to make for breakfast?  I do sometimes, especially if you already know me, breakfast is my all time favorite meal of the day.  I love breakfast so much I sometimes make it for dinner in our house.  If you haven’t tried it then trust me you should its a real crowd pleaser.  I knew when I stumbled upon Lori, from Recipe Girl‘s, Cinnamon Roll Waffles I had to make them one day.  All you need is your favorite buttermilk waffle recipe and then you combine a cinnamon drizzle and top it off with a cream cheese sauce… Cinnamon Roll + Waffles= Cinnamon Roll Waffles.  These babies tasted so good we ate them twice in one day.  Trust me you’ll be so happy you tried them.

Happy Hump Day! 😉

Ingredients

WAFFLES:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

CINNAMON TOPPING:

1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 Tablespoon grond cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE TOPPING:

4 Tablespoons butter
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Prepare waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture; set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened; batter will be slightly lumpy.

Preheat a waffle iron and spray with nonstick spray. Pour batter into waffle iron grid and close the lid. Bake until waffles are completely done- follow your waffle iron’s instructions. Use a fork to remove finished waffles. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep waffles warm until ready to serve (a 200 degree oven is perfect).

Prepare cinnamon topping: In a medium bowl, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Scoop the filling into a small zip baggie and set aside.

Prepare cream cheese topping: In a medium, microwave-safe bowl- heat butter and cream cheese for 30 to 60 seconds; just until melted. Stir together until smooth; whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

When ready to serve, place waffle on plate, drizzle cinnamon topping, then drizzle cream cheese topping. Use as much or as little as you’d like. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
