Cinnamon Chip Waffles with Vanilla Syrup

After chocolate, once of my favorite dessert flavors is cinnamon! And my favorite breakfast food is waffles, so I decided, why not combine the two? The result was definitely a home run! These waffles are like dessert for breakfast and will remind you of a cinnamon roll!

I have not been able to find cinnamon chips at my local store recently. I have had to buy them on-line, and I bought in bulk to get a better deal. I LOVE cinnamon chips to go in muffins & cakes, and also as a garnish for cakes and cupcakes. I usually buy Hersheys, but there are some other varieties on-line that you can buy in bulk that might be just as good. I just haven’t tried them.

With this recipe, you could maybe get away with not beating the egg whites and adding them separately, but it makes the waffles so much more fluffy that it’s definitely worth the little bit of time it takes to do this step! I also like using bread flour. You can use regular flour too, and they’ll still be delicious! I just like the consistency when made with bread flour a little bit better. You can substitute the buttery vanilla syrup for my Cream Cheese Syrup, if you prefer! Also, if you like these, try out my recipe for Cinnamon Roll Waffles!

After drizzling my waffle with all that buttery-vanilla goodness, I think I need to head to the gym!

Add water one tablespoon at a time and stir with wisk until smooth. (Add more water if you desire a thinner consistency or less if you want a thicker consistency.)
