Ingredients

Scale

Batter

1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup butter (cut into pieces)
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Cream Cheese Topping

3/4 cup whipped cream cheese (softened)
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Topping

1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp butter (melted)
2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Heat Milk and Butter: Add the milk and butter to a measuring cup and heat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds at high power, until the butter is nearly melted. This ensures the butter is incorporated evenly into the batter.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Pour the warmed milk mixture into a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined to create a smooth base for the batter.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined, allowing some small lumps to remain. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while preheating and greasing your waffle iron as needed.
Cook Waffles: Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook according to your waffle maker’s directions. For example, using one cup of batter and cooking for approximately 4½ minutes creates perfectly cooked waffles—crispy outside and soft inside.
Prepare Cream Cheese Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This topping adds a rich and tangy element reminiscent of traditional cinnamon rolls.
Prepare Cinnamon Topping: In another bowl, whisk the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until fully combined to create a sweet and spicy drizzle.
Serve: Drizzle both the cream cheese topping and the cinnamon topping generously over the warm waffles. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of warm spices and creamy sweetness.

Notes

For crispier waffles, allow the batter to rest slightly longer before cooking.
You can prepare the toppings ahead and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before serving.
Use fresh cinnamon for the best aroma and flavor in the cinnamon topping.
Adjust sugar levels in the toppings to taste if you prefer less sweetness.
Ensure waffle iron is fully preheated for even cooking and perfect texture.
