What do I need to make Canned Cinnamon Roll Waffles?
How to make canned cinnamon roll waffles
- Heat your waffle iron on medium high.
- Spray the waffle iron on both sides with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place a cinnamon roll in each square or circle of the waffle iron.
NOTE: This depends on how big and how many waffles your waffle iron holds. One of my waffle makers has 2 large squares so we make 2 at a time and our other waffle maker has 1 large circle so we can only make 1 at a time.
- Close the waffle iron and press down to slightly flatten the cinnamon roll.
- Let the cinnamon rolls cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. The buns should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Store the cooked cinnamon roll waffles in a 200°F oven while you cook the remaining cinnamon rolls.
- When ready to serve, drizzle the reserved cinnamon roll glaze over each cinnamon roll waffle.
How to make cinnamon roll waffles with jumbo rolls
Follow the same directions for making the cinnamon roll waffles. The only difference is jumbo size or Size! Cinnamon Rolls make 5 waffles per can (versus 8 the regular size).
How to serve and store cinnamon roll waffles
Save on computer Store cinnamon roll waffles, with or without ice, in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze, Allow frozen or unfrozen waffles to cool completely. Then place in a freezer-proof container or individually freezer bags. Store in the freezer for up to two months.
To warm up: When ready to eat, place the iced or non-iced waffles in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for about 20 seconds (30 seconds after freezing) or until warmed through. Or reheat waffles without ice in the oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes (10 minutes from frozen) until heated through.
I prefer to heat up waffles without ice in the toaster. Just pop them in and toast them until they’re slightly crispy on the outside and warmed through. You can drizzle with a simple frosting or spread with jam.
