Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
  5. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  6. Pour about 1/2 cup of waffle batter into the center of the waffle iron. Sprinkle a tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, then pour a little more batter to cover it.
  7. Close the waffle iron and cook the waffle until it is golden brown and crisp.
  8. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Once the waffles are done, remove them from the iron and drizzle with the prepared icing.
  10. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and serve immediately with a steaming cup of coffee.

Helpful Tips

  • If you prefer extra fluffy waffles, you can separate the egg whites, beat them until stiff peaks form, and then fold them into the batter.
  • For a nutty twist, add a handful of finely chopped pecans to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven before serving.
