We are all big breakfast fans in this house but there is one treat that really takes the cake for us.
These cinnamon roll waffles.
The sons and I love these!
The sons asked for them for breakfast every morning for 7 days in a row.
And I loved that they’re so simple, they can make them themselves- even my youngest now that he’s old enough to be around a waffle iron on his own.
So break out the waffle iron and can of cinnamon rolls and prepare to be delighted!
Ingredients
To make these, you’ll need:
- Cinnamon rolls– Use your favorite brand of the canned kind with cream cheese icing.
- Cooking spray – You definitely need nonstick spray so the spray doesn’t stick to your waffle maker.
- Powdered sugar– Don’t substitute a different kind of sugar here or the texture of the glaze won’t work.
- Milk– Any kind you have.
- Vanilla– Use real vanilla extract the best flavor.
How to Make
This breakfast treat is the easiest one you will ever make!
To do it, just heat up the waffle maker and spray the plates of the maker liberally with nonstick spray.
Then, remove cinnamon rolls from can and set the icing aside.
Place 1 cinnamon roll in center of waffle maker and close the iron.
Let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until waffle is thoroughly cooked and golden brown.
Then, carefully remove the waffle and set it on a waiting plate.
Spray the waffle iron in between and repeat this process for each waffle.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together reserved icing, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until glaze is smooth.
Serve glaze over hot waffles.
Storing leftovers
Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in a sealable bag in the fridge.
Reheat in a warm oven until heated through.
Tips and Tricks
- You MUST SPRAY the waffle maker in between each waffle. The sugar in the cinnamon rolls will make them more likely to stick.
- The waffles are done when you can easily lift them out of the waffle maker and the center is cooked through.
- If you prefer to serve them with maple syrup, you don’t need to make the glaze. Totally up to you.
- Make it a meal by serving them with yogurt and/or fresh fruit.
- For a real treat, use this recipe to make the classic waffles and ice cream treat.

I have heard of this but haven’t tried it myself. Thank you for reminding me because it looks delicious! I might be cracking open a can of cinnamon rolls this very weekend and trying your version 🙂 Thanks!
4 Sons 'R' Us says
You won’t be sorry, Andi. In the interest of full disclosure, I do have to warn you… they can be quite addicting!
Margaret Herlihy says
I just got a new waffle iron, looks like we will be having these with that yummy peanut butter hot chocolate. I love the recipes you share.
4sonsrus says
Thank you so much! They will pair perfectly together!!
Suzanne says
Was wondering if a canned roll would get lost in the waffle maker. Did you use a standard size waffle maker or a mini? Thanks
4sonsrus says
I wouldn’t recommend trying it in one of the upright waffle makers- I have and while it’s doable, it’s a pain. But in a regular or stove top waffle maker it doesn’t get lost. Either standard or mini will work. The mini waffle makers we found would char them a bit before the center of the dough was cooked through enough.
