Sounds heavenly, doesn't it? The same delicious taste, merely transformed into a convenient, portable snack that bakes in three minutes flat.

Now to make waffled cinnamon buns is pretty simple to follow and the recipe even gives you the option to make variations in fillings. There is also lots of room for adjustment, so you can make what you want. For example, the original recipe uses frozen bread dough for a quick option;however if you're a homemade baker like me you can easily merge two recipes to make a homemade dough for the rolls.

When prepared, the cinnamon buns are baked very quickly in a batch of four so you can enjoy your beloved treat as quick as possible. The recipe also leaves out the use of an oven and lets the waffle maker take on the challenge and success of creating a unique homemade cinnamon bun. The same delicious texture,taste and lovely fragrance we all remember.
