Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will ensure that it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the cinnamon roll waffles.
- Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and carefully separate the individual rolls. Set aside the icing that comes with the rolls for later use.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans and cinnamon. This will create a flavorful topping that will enhance the waffles.
- Take each cinnamon roll and flatten it slightly with your hands or a rolling pin. This will help them fit better in the waffle maker and cook evenly.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of the pecan and cinnamon mixture over each flattened roll. This will add texture and flavor to your waffles.
- Place the prepared cinnamon roll dough into the preheated waffle maker, making sure to leave enough space between each roll to allow for expansion during cooking.
- Close the waffle maker and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a serving plate. Repeat the process with any remaining cinnamon rolls.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, powdered sugar, and milk to create a smooth glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon roll waffles. You can also serve additional maple syrup on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy your delicious Overnight Cinnamon Roll Waffles warm, garnished with any extra pecans if desired!
Tips
- Preheat Your Waffle Maker: Always preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even cooking and a perfectly crispy exterior.
- Flatten the Dough: Gently flatten each cinnamon roll before placing it in the waffle maker. This helps them cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up too much.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Add chocolate chips, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of nutmeg to the pecan and cinnamon mixture for a unique twist.
- Watch the Cooking Time: Keep an eye on your waffles as they cook. Depending on your waffle maker, the cooking time may vary. Aim for a golden brown color for the best texture.
- Serve Immediately: These waffles are best enjoyed fresh out of the waffle maker. Serve them warm with the glaze drizzled on top and extra maple syrup on the side for dipping.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the pecan and cinnamon mixture the night before to save time in the morning. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Garnish for Presentation: For an extra touch, garnish your waffles with additional chopped pecans or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
