So Spring is here! Hooray! Other than my allergies acting a fool, I love Spring because it means we are one season closer to my favorite season, Summer! Another cool thing about Spring are all the cool foodie holidays that happen during this time. In honor of these foodie Holiday recipes, I've included a few recipes from a few other bloggers below.
National Waffle Day is on March 25th and I decided to represent with this Cinnabon Waffle Recipe!!! Why a Cinnabon Waffle?? Well I love, love, love, love Cinnabons. They are my favorite mall treat. I love them so much that one time, on a road trip home from Maryland, I made my husband get off the highway because I swore I saw a Cinnabon sign. Well...there was no Cinnabon off that exit, apparently no sign, and 10 minutes added to our trip. Oooops. It was at that time that I realized I had it bad for this sweet treat.
I've actually made copycat Cinnabons from scratch a few times but in order to get the dough just like I like it, it takes a whole lot of mixing and rising which means a whole lotta waiting. So I needed a faster fix and decided using my waffle iron would be much better.
I tend to make this Cinnabon Waffles recipe alone or with a side of fried chicken for some good ol' Chicken and Waffles. Great thing is if I make them for dinner, I just pack up any leftover waffle batter and enjoy waffles for breakfast too.
This recipe does take a few steps but the results are the perfect waffle for Waffle Day. Perfectly waffled waffles with a brown sugar topping and cream cheese glaze. So yum.

Notes on Cinnabon Waffles Recipe
- You can use almond milk or regular milk. I've used both with no problems.
- Prior to making these waffles, preheat oven to 250 degrees. Once waffles are done, place on baking sheet in preheated oven to keep waffles warm.
- These are so good with a nice tall glass of milk.

These cinnabon waffles sound so good. I love fancy waffles, and there is nothing like that cinnamon roll flavor!

These sound really delicious with the cinnamon and cream cheese. Two of my favorite flavors together. Would be great to serve for a nice weekend brunch!
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way says
I don't make waffles -- all our kids are grown and the grandkids don't live nearby. But I can imagine how great the house smells with that cinnamon. I wish I would have had this years ago.
Byron Thomas says
I've never really mastered the art of waffle making. And, I really have no place to store a waffle maker in my small apartment sized kitchen. Would the batter work well as pancakes too? I have a pancake skillet that never gets used. 🙂
Kelly @ Trial and Eater says
Breakfast and brunch are my favorite, I could eat waffles any time! And these look particularly delicious!

Oh these sound like the perfect breakfast treat for my kids!!!!
Here is Australia we are heading into Autumn, although the weather can't make up it's mind. Glorious sunshine one day and then rainy and grey the following day!
I think we all deserve these waffles 😀
Tanya says
We have the same problem in North Carolina, lol. It was sunny and warm yesterday and now it's freezing. Your kids will love these, my daughter does.
