Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), storing Cinnamon Roll Waffles is a breeze. Allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container, where they can last for up to two months.

When you're ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply reheat them in a toaster or oven until warmed through. For an extra treat, drizzle with a little more icing or serve with your favorite syrup. This makes for a quick and satisfying breakfast option on busy mornings.

Tips for Perfect Waffles

To achieve the best results, ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the dough. This helps to create that perfect crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft and gooey. Depending on your waffle iron, cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on the waffles as they cook to prevent burning.

Another tip is to avoid overcrowding the waffle iron. Depending on the size of your iron, you may need to cook the dough in batches. This ensures even cooking and allows for better airflow, resulting in perfectly cooked waffles every time.
