Snow Day Cinnamon Roll Waffles
Yesterday was another snow day, our fourth of the year. Actually I don’t think any of them were because of snow. They are all due to the frigid arctic cold weather we’ve been having. You moms know what this means: entertaining the kids ALL DAY LONG because they’re bored. This starts at breakfast, so today I decided to spice things up a bit and make something new – Cinnamon Roll Waffles!
I was inspired by something I read online a while back and this always stuck in my head. It couldn’t be this easy, could it? Just take a roll of cinnamon roll dough from a tube and pop it in your waffle iron?
First I have to get the roll open. These things are sealed better than the kids’ cereal bags and those are impossible to open without scissors!
The iron is all preheated, so let’s give it a shot!
I left the heat setting on what we normally use for our Belgian waffles and it sure did the trick!
But we cannot forget the icing. It is actually easier to spread on a ‘waffle’ than on a regular cinnamon roll.
Yes, they do taste as good as they look. The only difference we noticed is they felt a bit heavier since they don’t have time to rise as they do in the oven. But the trade-off is that from start to finish it only takes a couple minutes to complete rather than waiting for the oven to preheat and then cook for 10-15 minutes! I now have a new recipe in my breakfast arsenal!
That is an awesome idea and another reason why I need a waffle maker. I’m sure the crunchy edges with the icing is the best part.
This is my favorite way to make waffles!!! So good
Love this!! Can’t wait to try it as soon as our waffle maker arrives in Germany, thanks for sharing!
I love cinnamon rolls but don’t like making them. This is a great idea!
OMG! I just told my husband we need to buy a waffle maker, lmao.. This looks so good, we’re forever eating these cinn rolls in the morning, it’s a easy breakfast for the kids. I for one is tired of this snow weather crap as well! haha. I just posted this to my fb, I’m hungry now.
This looks super delicious! Thanks for sharing a great idea! I wouldn’t have thought on this myself 🙂
Those look so delicious, I’m going to give this a try sometime! YUM
I think my kids would love these…and I’ve even got a tube of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon buns in the fridge! I think we’ll try these this week during Feb vacation from school!
I would have never of thought to use these cinnamon rolls in a waffle maker, how convenient and easy to make, this would be great for those rushed mornings.
Fabulous! And another way to use my waffle maker. Thanks for this great idea!
These look so amazing, my mouth is watering! (Though I hope for the sake of my mental health, we are done now with snow days… 😉
Wow – that’s a great idea! I’m going to have to try this!!
this is awesome i want to try this with my son.
GENIUS!!!! I know my kids would go CRAZY over these for breakfast!!
Oh my husband would go wild for these. He just loves cinnamon rolls as a treat.
These look super delicious! My hubby would love them.
This certainly adds a new dimension to waffles, which are great already!!! How perfect for breakfast, snack, or even dinner – as on a snow day, anything goes!
OK this makes me want a waffle iron. LOL. Thank you for sharing with us.
This is very clever! I love how they look once they are done. Very fancy!
These look so delicious and easy to make. I have to make these for my boys very soon.
I would have never thought to use these in a waffle maker – that is brilliant. I will have to pick some up at the store today.
Oh cool . Love it and I will be getting me some rolls soon.
Grands are what we use here for the quick and easy method of getting it from the fridge to the oven in no time flat. This is what we do when time doesn’t seem to be on our side when we can not make it from scratch.
The taste is amazing too. We usually use the chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon rolls .
I like that you pointed out that the cinnamon rolls didn’t have a chance to rise because of the waffle iron. I think I would have gone in and not even thought about it. Then been disappointed because they didn’t rise. lol
These waffles look very tasty. Thanks for sharing!
These look very tasty! Would love to make them sometime.
