So, everyone and their brother has been pinning instructions for making waffles out of tube cinnamon rolls, and this week they were on sale and I just couldn’t resist.
I had also forgotten until recently that we actually own a waffle maker (it lives in the cupboard above the fridge, where short people aren’t apt to notice it).
A number of the pinned recipes recommended using the extra-large Grands cinnamon rolls, but since our waffle maker isn’t huge and the Grands waffles appeared even in the roll to be gigundous, I opted for regular type.
We just put one roll on each quarter of the waffle maker and closed it on top of them.
Three minutes later, we had waffles!
Karl was wearing awesome tiki jimjams while we made breks. He also did the part I hate, which is squeezing out the icing (I always seem to be really messy with it and feel like my hands are coated in a thin layer of icing all day).
These were a perfect brekkie! They were easy enough to eat by hand – no utensils required, even.
I’m sure they would taste extra good if you were ambitious enough to make the cinnamon roll dough from scratch, but that’s just not how we do things at Casa Heathen.
Can I move in? All the food you’ve been making lately looks so GOOD.
You are welcome anytime! Although we are currently residing in the guest room since we’re repainting the master bedroom. But that should be done (and blogged here) soon! I’m unemployed right now, so I have been applying myself to learning how to cook. Thankfully I have a sister who knows a TON about cooking and baking so I have a help line.
Overall I have to say that my efforts to cook have been far more successful than I expected! And I’m learning a ton, so even the things that aren’t perfect are still successful in my book. Your recent vacation to Hawaii looks AWESOME!
These look amazing. I kind of want to go out and buy a tube of cinnamon rolls now.
I highly recommend it. They are so friggin’ easy – it’s almost criminal!
