Cinnamon Roll Waffles just might be the easiest breakfast ever! A can of cinnamon and a waffle maker is all you need.

Why We Love This Recipe
Today’s cinnamon roll waffles recipe isn’t so much a recipe as a really awesome tip. I came across this idea for cinnamon waffles a while ago but I was skeptical. You’ve probably seen it too, but I had no idea that we would love it as much as we do, and it’s too good not to share!

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Waffles
Get a detailed list of ingredients & instructions in the recipe card below.
- Grab a can of refrigerator cinnamon rolls and a waffle maker.
- Heat the waffle make until the green light comes up, then place a cinnamon roll in each section. Don’t unroll them, just place the piece right in the center.
- Close the waffle maker and wait for the other pretty light to come on to tell you it’s done. (If you don’t have a pretty little light, this takes just about 3-4 minutes).
- Now what’s a waffle without syrup? Good thing it comes right in the package! We don’t use much, so I just heat up the icing in the microwave for about 20 seconds until it’s pourable. That’s it!


Storage
Leftovers will keep for a day or two in an airtight container at room temperature.
Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer. You can reheat in the microwave but do so gently.
Tips and Tricks
- Spray the waffle maker with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the waffles don’t stick.
- Need more icing? Mix up some powdered sugar with water and a little bit of melted butter.
- You can use this same method for canned biscuits. Delicious with come chili and cheese on top!
