Today's Brilliant Idea: Cinnamon Roll Waffles!

 

This is one of the most BRILLIANT ideas I've seen on Pinterest lately: squish refrigerated cinnamon rolls in your waffle iron, heat and eat! These "waffles" received rave reviews at my house this morning! Yum!

Oops, stuck to the top...

Purely by chance, I bought the smaller, simpler version of cinnamon rolls.  If I'd bought the larger cinnamon rolls that are rolled up like pinwheels, I would have only been able to make one at a time, since I have a Belgian waffle maker instead of the more "mainstream" waffle iron that makes four square waffles. I did four small cinnamon rolls at a time (it only took a minute or so, but I'm sure each waffle iron is different) in my Belgian maker, and then I "schmeared" them with some butter and the ready-made frosting that came with the rolls.

 

Next time, I'll spray the waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray...the cinnamon/sugar topping was a little sticky... :)
