Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Waffle Iron

Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to fully heat.
Lightly grease with cooking spray before each batch to prevent sticking.

Stir until it forms a thick paste.

Pour the cinnamon mixture into the waffle batter and gently stir to create cinnamon swirls. Don’t overmix — visible swirls are perfect! ✨

4️⃣ Cook the Waffles

Scoop about ¼ cup batter (for mini waffles) into the waffle iron.
Cook for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing between batches.

5️⃣ Make the Cream Cheese Glaze

Microwave cream cheese for 20–30 seconds until softened.
Add non-dairy milk and powdered sugar.
Whisk until smooth and creamy with no clumps.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy 🧇

Plate warm waffles and generously drizzle with cream cheese glaze.
Add maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness.

Serve immediately while warm and gooey!
