Tips for Making Cinnamon Rolls in the Waffle Maker

Use Nonstick Cooking Spray. Spray waffle iron with nonstick spray if you don’t have a non-stick surface.

Smush the cinnamon rolls. Press the cinnamon rolls flat between your palms before placing them on the waffle iron. This makes it easier for them to cook quickly.

Heat the waffle Iron. It is important that the waffle maker is fully at temperature and you have a hot waffle maker before you put the cinnamon rolls into it to cook.

Use any flavor Cinnamon Rolls. I have used Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and store bought cinnamon rolls and ones in different flavors and they have all worked cooking them in the waffle iron.

Heat waffle iron until it says it is good to go. Spray the waffle maker top and bottom with nonstick cooking spray.

Open cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing container.

Put 4 pieces of cinnamon roll dough onto the waffle maker, one in each section of it and have them touch, close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes. (This may be longer depending on your waffle maker.) and cook until they are golden brown.

Remove waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a plate, spread a little bit of icing on them while they are hot so it melts.

Repeat the above directions with the rest of the can of cinnamon rolls.
