Instructions
First, prepare your Cinnamon Swirl frosting, either the Cinnamon Drizzle Topping or Cream Cheese Glaze.
Cinnamon Drizzle Topping
Place all cinnamon swirl ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Then place in a Ziploc bag and cut a corner off. Set aside.
Mix the powdered sugar topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Cream Cheese Glaze
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth with a hand mixer. Then place the powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the bowl and cream until smooth, about two minutes.
Refrigerate about twenty minutes until serving.
Waffle Preparations
Heat waffle maker.
Combine your favorite waffle batter as normal. Add in the vanilla extract.
Liberally spray waffle maker with nonstick spray before each new batter is placed on maker, particularly spray the top for this recipe.
Place waffle batter on maker. Hold onto Ziplock bag and create a cinnamon swirl in the center of each waffle.
Bake about 5 minutes or until set. Carefully remove waffle, and serve with topping while warm.
The waffles can be frozen and reheated, or store refrigerated up to a week in an airtight container.
Tip-- spraying the waffle maker between waffles will help prevent the sugar from burning on the maker.
