The start of the new school year is just around the corner. So, I came up with a special breakfast recipe I can make for my daughter’s very first day of Kindergarten.

She loves cinnamon toast…well, we all do! It is one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast. I love the crunchy cinnamon sugar topping. It is so delicious.
I decided to create that same amazing topping on waffles. Oh, wow! These were so incredible. Imagine a fluffy waffle topped with a perfectly crunchy cinnamon topping. It is the ultimate breakfast and a fun play on cinnamon toast. I used a Belgian waffle maker, which creates a thicker waffle.
It is so easy to make these delicious waffles. My daughter had so much fun helping me in the kitchen. I let her pour the ingredients into the bowls and mix everything. She also loved sprinkling the cinnamon and sugar on the waffles.
Cinnamon Toast Waffles Recipe
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 & ¾ cups milk
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cinnamon plus 1 cup sugar
- Combine the eggs, milk and oil and vanilla and beat until mixed thoroughly.
- Mix together the dry ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
- Stir until combined.
- Grease your waffle iron.
- Spoon the batter onto the waffle iron.
- Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar topping.
- Cook according to waffle maker instructions.
- Serve with extra cinnamon/sugar and syrup.
You may have noticed that the recipe calls for adding a cinnamon sugar mixture to the top of the waffle batter before closing the iron lid. This is what makes these waffles truly spectacular. When your waffles have finished cooking, they will have a crunchy and sweet cinnamon topping, just like my favorite toast!
According to my daughter, you really dont need syrup. She ate the waffles with just cinnamon and sugar. However, I think they taste even better with it.
As a note, the type of cinnamon makes a huge difference. The waffles taste great with regular grocery store cinnamon. However, I came across another type. Korintje cinnamon has a more mild flavor and isn’t as spicy as the type you would normally buy at the store. I prefer it!
Oh, I would fancy those every morning for the rest of my life! 🙂
I hope you’ll share your recipe with Idea Box:

Thanks so much for your comment! These waffles are really amazing. I just linked up the recipe! Thanks for the invite.
Hi. I notice that the instructions say to combine the wet ingredients, which includes milk. But there is no indication of how much milk I need for the recipe. Do I not need milk? If I do, how much? Also can I use almond milk instead (I was looking for milk-less waffle recipes since I don’t have any)?
Hi Lily! Thanks so much for pointing out the error! I updated the recipe. I’ve never tried it with almond milk. However, I dont see why it wouldnt work. I hope they turn out great!
I made half of the recipe with almond milk and they turned out great! Thank you so much. 🙂
I’m so glad! Thanks for letting me know. It’s great the almond milk worked in the recipe. I’m going to have to try it myself!
Yes there is 1 & 3\4 cup of milk please read the ingredients before making such a meaningless comment.

These look amazing! I love cinnamon toast and I love waffles but somehow never thought to combine the two. I will now!
Thanks for linking up with us at the #HomeMattersParty and I hope you’ll join us again!
I tried this recipe and I’m not sure if I made it right, (pretty sure I did hopefully) it didn’t turn out the same and the batter was too watery for me 😅
These look & sound amazing. I’m a cinnamon lover too. Thanks for sharing your recipe at the Inspiration Spotlight Party. Pinned & shared. hope to see you again soon. Have a great Sunday & week ahead.
What should i use if i dont have a waffle maker
You could try baking the mixture in a muffin pan. You could also add extra milk and cook like pancakes.
