# Components:
→ Waffle Batter
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Cinnamon Swirl
10 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
11 - 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
12 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
→ Cream Cheese Drizzle
13 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
14 - 3/4 cup powdered sugar
15 - 2 tablespoons milk
16 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer’s guidance.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; avoid overmixing.
04 - In a small bowl, blend melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped.
05 - Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the center, then pipe a spiral of the cinnamon mixture onto the batter. Close and cook until golden and crisp, approximately 3–4 minutes per waffle. Repeat until all batter and swirl are used.
06 - In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, mixing until the glaze is pourable.
07 - Serve waffles warm, generously drizzling with the cream cheese topping.
