Ingredients You’ll Need
These ingredients are wonderfully straightforward but play pivotal roles in achieving the perfect balance of texture and flavor in your cinnamon sugar biscuit waffles. Each one brings something special to the table, creating delightful layers of sweetness and warmth.
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can Grands! Flaky Layers Biscuits (8-count): The surprisingly tender, flaky biscuit base that crisps up beautifully in the waffle iron.
- 1/2 cup sugar: Adds just the right amount of sweetness to contrast with the cinnamon’s warmth.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Brings that classic, fragrant spice that makes everything feel cozy and festive.
- Nonstick cooking spray: Ensures your waffles release effortlessly from the iron without sticking or breaking.
How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe
Step 1: Prep Your Waffle Iron and Cinnamon Sugar
Start by heating your waffle iron and giving it a light spray with nonstick cooking spray. While it warms, mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl so your coating is ready and waiting for those warm waffles. This step ensures you’ll get that perfect, even cinnamon sugar spread without any hassle.
Step 2: Stretch Out the Biscuits
Open your can of Grands! biscuits and gently separate them. Now, here’s a little trick: softly stretch each biscuit until it reaches about 4 to 5 inches across. This makes them just right for fitting in the waffle iron and gives you that lovely, crispy edge that everyone loves.
Step 3: Cook the Biscuit Waffles to Golden Perfection
Place a single stretched biscuit onto the center of the hot waffle iron, close it gently, and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. When they emerge, the waffles should have a beautiful golden-brown color and a crisp exterior with tender, flaky layers inside – absolute magic!
Step 4: Coat Immediately with Cinnamon Sugar
As soon as you lift the waffles from the iron, toss them right into your cinnamon sugar bowl and coat thoroughly. Press softly to help the sugar stick, soaking in all that buttery goodness while still warm. This step makes the flavors pop and adds that delightful sweet crunch you’ll crave.
How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe
Garnishes
Enhance your cinnamon sugar biscuit waffles with a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle warm honey or maple syrup for an extra indulgent touch. Fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream can add a lovely freshness and lightness to balance the rich sweetness.
Side Dishes
For a heartier breakfast, pair these waffles with crispy bacon or savory sausage links. Fresh fruit salad or a tangy yogurt parfait also complements the dish beautifully, elevating your morning to something truly special.
Creative Ways to Present
Stack your waffles for a charming, tall presentation, layering them with cream cheese or fruit preserves between each waffle for a fun brunch centerpiece. You can even cut them into bite-sized pieces and serve with a cinnamon-infused dipping sauce for an irresistible snack platter.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you find yourself with leftover cinnamon sugar biscuit waffles, simply store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. This keeps the waffles from drying out while retaining their flakey texture.
Freezing
For longer storage, freeze your waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. This method prevents them from sticking together and allows you to enjoy fresh-tasting waffles anytime by toasting or reheating directly from frozen.
Reheating
Reheat leftover waffle biscuits in a toaster or oven to bring back their crispiness. Avoid using the microwave if possible, as it can make the waffles soft and lose their delightful texture.
FAQs
Can I use homemade biscuit dough for this Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Waffles Recipe?
Absolutely! While store-bought biscuits are super convenient, homemade biscuit dough can add an extra personal touch and flavor. Just be sure the dough isn’t too thick to cook through evenly in your waffle iron.
What kind of waffle iron works best?
Any standard waffle iron will do, but a classic square waffle maker works perfectly for shaping these biscuit waffles. Just make sure to preheat it fully and use nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
Can I adjust the cinnamon sugar ratio?
Definitely! Feel free to tweak the amount of cinnamon to suit your taste. If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, add a pinch more. For less sweetness, reduce the sugar slightly. It’s a versatile mix you can customize.
Are these waffles suitable for freezing and reheating?
Yes, they freeze wonderfully! Just freeze fully cooled waffles in a single layer before bagging. When ready, reheat in a toaster or oven to restore that lovely crispness and warmth.
Can I add toppings like nuts or chocolate chips?
For sure! Adding chopped nuts to the cinnamon sugar mix or sprinkling chocolate chips on the biscuit before cooking can create delicious variations. Just add them sparingly so they don’t interfere with the waffle iron closing properly.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can Grands! Flaky Layers Biscuits (8-count)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the waffles.
- Mix cinnamon sugar: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside the mixture for coating the waffles later.
- Prepare the biscuits: Open the can and separate the biscuits gently. Stretch each biscuit out to roughly 4 to 5 inches in diameter to ensure they cook evenly and fit well in the waffle iron.
- Cook waffles: Place one stretched biscuit in the center of the preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.
- Coat waffles with cinnamon sugar: Remove the cooked waffle and immediately place it into the bowl with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Toss gently, pressing slightly so the cinnamon sugar adheres to the warm waffle.
- Serve and keep warm: Serve the waffles immediately for the best texture. If cooking multiple waffles, keep finished waffles warm by placing them in a low-temperature oven while you cook the remaining waffles.
Notes
- Make sure the waffle iron is fully preheated before cooking each biscuit for consistent results.
- Stretch biscuits gently to avoid tearing but ensure they are thin enough to cook evenly.
- Use nonstick cooking spray instead of oil or butter to keep waffles from sticking without adding extra fat.
- Serve waffles right away to keep the crust crisp and the inside soft.
- Leftover waffles can be stored and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick snack.
