Make these Cinnamon Roll Waffles for a special breakfast and I know the whole family with absolutely love them!
Easter is almost here, my friends. While I know most of us are full speed ahead to spring, I could have sworn we rang in the New Year two weeks ago! Regardless of how I'm feeling,
Easter is just a hop, skip and jump away. (See what I did there... hop.... tehehehe) It’s only right that with this special holiday, the breakfast we serve is special as well.
One thing is to be realistic. No one wants to spend hours in the kitchen before church, egg hunts and family get together.
I came up a fun spin on my one hour cinnamon rolls. Making them into waffles! Yes! Cinnamon Roll Waffles with a Cream Cheese Glaze.
How delicious do they look?The key to these tiny pieces of heaven is not cooking them too long. There is nothing worse than a hockey puck on your special morning.
We decided to serve some more of the glaze in a regular size plastic egg for an added touch. Fun right? This allows your family and friends to adjust their own amount of glaze depending on their liking.
One thing to note: Many of the plastic eggs have tiny little holes at the bottom. Use a small piece of tape to cover the holes before you fill them with any substance.
