You guys – cinnamon roll waffles made in the waffle maker will be your new breakfast go-to. This mom hack will have you making your kid’s breakfast in minutes and they will absolutely love it.
Cinnamon Roll Waffles in the Waffle Maker
Our Cinnamon Roll Waffles recipe is super easy but super delicious. I’ve been making this meal for breakfast for the last decade, several times a month.
I rarely just make a can of cinnamon rolls because I can just make these cinnamon roll waffles quick and it gives the cinnamon rolls a new taste!
Sure, I could just stick the canned cinnamon rolls in the oven for 20 minutes – but here is the deal. I have FOUR mouths that need food in the morning and at different times. My 3 boys come down, typically first my 6-year-old, then my 11-year-old and then finally the 5-year-old. About 20 minutes later, my daughter comes down. It’s a circus.
I need a quick, easy option for breakfast. I have to pump food out and get it in their bellies asap.
Our turn-around from wake-up time to get dressed, to brush teeth, to eating breakfast, to getting socks and shoes on, to making sure back-packs are ready and coats on – then OUT the door to the bus. And did I mention that we don’t wake-up early. Our morning routine happens in is usually 20 minutes. Insanity yes, but I hate mornings.
BONUS – all of my kids love this breakfast. Is it the most healthy, hell no. Are they fed and happy? Yes. We’re in survival mode most mornings so fed and happy – that is a total win for this family, we will take it.
