Quick Cinnamon Roll Waffles

If your household was anything like mine growing up, we had these Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls quite frequently. Honestly I feel like it was about a weekly occurrence in our house. Well, if you follow me on Instagram, a few weeks ago I posted a photo of my awesome new All-Clad waffle maker and promised some recipes. Now while this isn't the crème de la crème of recipes, it is super easy and super fast and combines my childhood with my adult life. Think scrambling to get the kids ready on a school day or, in my case, husband running out the door for work. You don't have 20 to 30 minutes to prepare breakfast, so what do you do? You heat your waffle maker, pop the cinnamon rolls open, and place to inside at once that cook for 5 minutes or less. Like I said, a super easy and super quick recipe. They have the same great taste and at 140 calories a pop (with icing), they aren't too bad on your waistline. You can refrigerate what you don't use to use another day! Enjoy!

Quick Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Ingredients

Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls (duh)

Olive Oil Spray (or whatever you use already)

Preheat your waffle maker to the setting of your choosing. I set ours to a 2 or 3 usually. When preheated, spray lightly with olive oil spray and place 2 cinnamon rolls (our is a 2 square, your may be bigger) in the waffle maker, close the top, and cook until done, about 3-5 minutes.

Place some icing on each one when they come out so it melts and serve!

Apple Cinnamon Bread

Since the weather has taken a somewhat fall like turn this past week, which I just love, I decided to make this recipe which would be perfect for the cooler temperatures. Plus, I was excited to try out my oil mister for the first time (I absolutely love it btw). This bread was quite tasty and is perfect for fall. It's one of those breads that you can eat as a dessert or have for a quick breakfast, which my husband did for a few days. It is wonderful heated up and equally as good cold. I felt like my pan was a little larger than I would have preferred, but it in no way affected the taste of the bread. As fall heads your way, try this recipe out. It is very easy and packs great flavor into a simple loaf of bread. Enjoy! 

Apple Cinnamon Bread

Ingredients 
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 large or 2 small red apples, peeled and finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bread pan.

Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

With a mixer, combine sugar and butter until smooth. Once smooth, add eggs and vanilla until combined.

Add the flour and baking powder, it will look dry, then you add the milk.

Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with half of the apples. Slightly pat apples into batter. 

Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Bake for about 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
