Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Everyone loves a cinnamon roll, and who doesn't love waffles? Although tasty, both of these delicious breakfast treats have their down side. Cinnamon rolls can be messy and waffles can sometimes be a little bit of a hassle. Well here is a simple and fast "recipe" that is mess free and is a sure fire way to get your Sunday off to a delicious start. 

This is so easy to make because you only need two things!!

1. A waffle maker (mine is small and round, but you can use whatever kind you have)



 2. A tube of store bought cinnamon rolls (this brand is my favorite, but any kind will do) 


 Now pop that sucker open and let's get started!

You want to make sure that your waffles get cooked thoroughly while not burning them in the process. I am pretty familiar with how my iron cooks, but if you don't use yours very often and are not sure what what heat setting to put it on, or for how long to leave it closed, it's probably best to put it on a relatively low heat and just keep an eye on it. Mine has a number system for the heat, and I put it in between the two and three, and the light on it will turn from red to green when it is ready to be checked. 

Plug in your iron and get it heated up. 

Once it is ready, spray a little bit of cooking oil onto the top and bottom iron. I'm pretty sure mine is supposed to be non-stick but it's better to be safe than sorry!! 

Place three cinnamon rolls onto the bottom iron in a triangle.


 Close the top and press down. The key to these turning out just right is keeping the pressure on them! The dough is meant to rise when cooking, so make sure you keep your hand on it so they don't get too fat.
Caution: Watch out for steam, use an oven mit if you have to. No injuries please!!

If you have a light on your iron like mine, it will let you know when your good to go. If you don't, just keep an eye on it like I said. Cooking is all about experimentation right?!?

Open it up, to see your beautiful golden brown waffles, and use a fork to carefully peel it off the iron and onto your plate. It even comes out looking like a heart!!!


 The beauty about waffles is that you can put whatever you want onto them. When it comes to cinnamon rolls I keep it classic and love that gooey frosting that comes in the tube, so it's what I like to use. (Kevin uses maple syrup) 

Spread on that frosting, and let the drooling begin. (I used one cinnamon round to make the extra baby waffle on top)


 Make yourself a cup of coffee in that favorite mug of yours and enjoy!!


 P.S. Other than your plate, cup, and fork you have no dishes. Just wipe down your waffle iron and enjoy the rest of your day!!
