Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Make Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron and lightly grease with non-stick spray or butter.
- Layer Batter and Cinnamon Mixture: Spoon about 1/4 cup batter onto the waffle iron, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture over it, then pour another 1/4 cup of batter on top. Close the waffle iron and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, about 3-5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: While waffles cook, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy. Adjust milk to desired drizzle consistency.
- Serve: Once waffles are done, immediately drizzle with the cream cheese glaze and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade cinnamon roll waffle delight!

Recipe Notes & Tips
- For extra gooey cinnamon flavor, add chopped pecans or walnuts into the cinnamon sugar layer.
- Substitute regular milk for buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice to 3/4 cup milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
