Cinnamon Roll Waffles

   As I'm sure y'all have noticed I've sorta been MIA for the last little while....with baby almost here {Sat is the due date} and still working 5 days a week; {babysitting and at the greenhouse}, and trying to finish up all the last minute details before his/her arrival that I haven't had much time to be on here. I really haven't been trying many if any new and exciting recipes either. Just sticking with simple basics at this point. =)
   Decided on Saturday morning though, when I woke up earlier than I was planning {which happens a lot these days :/} and as a celebration of sorts that I only had one more week to go, I would make something for breakfast that was a bit more exciting than usual. =) 
   These delightful waffles were what I decided on....

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Waffles:

1 3/4 cups flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 eggs

2 cups buttermilk

1/4 cup oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Topping:

1/2 cup butter , melted

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

Cream Cheese Topping:

4 tbsp butter

2 oz. cream cheese

3/4 cup powdered sugar 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Waffles- In a bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture. In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Pour into the dry mixture and stir just until moistened. Pour onto waffle iron and bake until golden brown.

Cinnamon topping- Mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Pour into a Ziploc bag and seal. snip the end of the bag and drizzle over prepared waffles.

Cream cheese topping- Melt butter and cream cheese. Stir together until smooth. Whisk in sugar and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over top of the prepared waffles. 

   
   They were definitely a treat! Much easier than cinnamon rolls and almost as good {but not quite I thought} =) Was a lovely way to start our day!
   Just a quick end-note....I'm still hoping to blog after 'Tater Bug's' debut, just don't be surprised if it goes awhile between posts for the first couple of weeks/months.....Hoping baby decides to arrive SOON!!! =)

May the God of hope fill you with

all joy and peace as you trust

in Him, so that you overflow with

hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Enjoy this lovely rainy day! =)
