Preparation Steps

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.

  6. While the waffles are cooking, prepare your cream cheese drizzle by beating 4 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth.
  7. Once cooked, stack your warm Cinnamon Roll Waffles on a plate and generously drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top.
