Soft Pillsbury cinnamon rolls are transformed into crispy, golden waffles, perfectly complemented by a luscious maple cream cheese drizzle. Ready in minutes, this recipe offers a comforting treat ideal for weekend mornings or special brunches.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 8 waffles

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

  • 1 (7.3 oz) can Pillsbury Grand Original cinnamon rolls
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Maple Cream Cheese Syrup

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon maple extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Maple Cream Cheese Syrup: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and maple extract (if using) until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set the syrup aside for serving.
  2. Preheat the Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and spray it generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Cinnamon Roll Waffles: Place one cinnamon roll from the can in the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid carefully, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the waffle is cooked through and golden brown.
  4. Repeat Cooking: Continue the process with the remaining cinnamon rolls, reheating and spraying the waffle iron as necessary to ensure even cooking and easy release.
  5. Serve: Serve the warm cinnamon roll waffles immediately, drizzled generously with the prepared maple cream cheese syrup for a deliciously sweet finish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, cook the waffles a bit longer but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Maple extract adds an enhanced maple flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Use fresh cinnamon rolls for best texture and flavor.
  • This recipe is best served fresh; leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or regular oven for a few minutes.
