How to Make 2-Ingredient Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Heat a waffle maker to medium heat.

Spray the waffle maker on both sides with non-stick spray.

Place a cinnamon roll in the center.

Close the waffle maker and press down to flatten the cinnamon roll slightly.

Allow to cook for 1 minute. (The roll should be crisp on the outside and soft in the center.)

Repeat until all rolls are done.

When ready to serve, drizzle the icing over each cinnamon roll.

Watch the Cooking Time – It will vary by waffle maker. Start with 1 minute; add 1 minute at a time as necessary.

Optional Toppings – Fresh berries, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, whipped cream, or maple syrup can be added for extra flavor and texture.

Alternate Icing Recipe – If you want to level up the icing, make a glaze by combining: 3 oz Softened Cream Cheese 2 tbsp Butter, Softened 1 cup Powdered Sugar 1/2 tsp Vanilla 2-4 tbsp Milk

Experiment with Flavors – Try different varieties of canned cinnamon rolls, such as pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon for a fun twist on this recipe!
