Variations

This recipe is already pretty perfect, but if you want to switch it up a little, here are a few ideas:

• Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk and vegan butter in place of the dairy products, and use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) in place of the eggs.
• Add some nuts: Chopped pecans or walnuts would make a great addition to the cinnamon swirl filling.
• Make it savory: Skip the sugar and cinnamon in the filling, and instead add some shredded cheese, cooked bacon, or diced ham for a delicious savory waffle.

Whichever variation you choose, we’re sure you’ll love these cinnamon roll waffles. Enjoy!
