Ingredients  

  • 1 box Cinnamon Swirl Cake Mix
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ cup Milk
  • Cooking Spray

Instructions 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 box Cinnamon Swirl Cake Mix, 2 Eggs, and ½ cup Milk. Stir until well mixed. It will still be slightly lumpy and that is okay.

  • Add the cinnamon mixture from the cake mix. You can add as much or as little of the mixture as you want. I usually do only half.

  • Preheat the waffle iron and spray it with Cooking Spray. When the iron is hot, spoon the waffle batter into the iron and close the lid.

  • When done cooking, remove the waffles, spray again with cooking oil, and spoon more batter into the hot iron. Repeat until you are out of batter. Depending on the size of your waffle iron, it should make between 8-12 waffles.

Glaze (optional)

  • Sugar glaze is delicious on these waffles! Grab my Glaze Recipe here.

All waffle irons are different, so make sure you understand how yours works before using it.

My waffle iron has a light that turns off when the waffles are perfectly golden brown, so there is no guesswork.

You can top it with maple syrup, or I like to drizzle on a sugar glaze made with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. It is entirely optional, but man, it is good!

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover homemade waffles store really well, making them great for make-ahead breakfasts.

In the Fridge

Let the waffles cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag. They will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

In the Freezer

Once cooled, place waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Transfer them to a freezer bag or an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.

Homemade frozen waffles stay good for up to 2 months in the freezer.

Reheating Tips

This makes homemade waffles just as easy to grab as the store-bought ones!

  • A toaster or toaster oven works best for crisp edges
  • Oven at 350º until warmed through for larger batches
  • Avoid the microwave if you want them crisp, as it softens them
