I’m an impulse shopper, especially when I am walking around the grocery store and I am hangry. When my tummy is a rumblin’ I find myself buying anything and almost everything that my normal self would not allow me to buy. Because of this, I came home with four different types of coconut granola bars, 2 boxes of popsicles and a tube of Cinnabon Bakery Inspired Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls. While I definitely do not recommend buying or even eating these types of food on the regular, especially cinnamon rolls, however I luckily allow myself one cheat day a week where I eat one meal that I normally would not eat. So forewarning, unless you are a high carb and calorie diet, I would just stay away from this dish that I am about to share with you.
For any of you who have ever had Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, you probably know just how easy they are to make. However, I wanted to do something outside of the box that would be just as easy but also a little inventive at the same time. Because of this, I wanted to cook my cinnamon rolls in a waffle iron and spruce up the frosting. Below is my recipe!
Cinnamon Bun Waffles with Cream Cheese and Bacon Frosting
1 tube of Pillsbury Cinnamon buns, whatever type you like
2 tablespoons cream cheese
2 slices of bacon, chopped
1/4 cup of cream
waffle iron
Go ahead and get your waffle iron heated up and ready, I would recommend using a low setting. While you iron is heating up, in a small skillet add bacon over medium high heat and cook until browned and crispy. Once your bacon is ready, drain the bacon and grease into a paper towel lined plate. Wipe off the skillet and heat over low heat. Add the little can of frosting that comes with the cinnamon buns and add the cream cheese and bacon. Heat up until smooth and blended. Once your frosting is ready, go ahead and add cinnamon buns to iron. My waffle iron only makes two square waffles, thus I only cooked cinnamon buns. Once cinnamon buns are ready, plate and frost. If the frosting becomes a little too thick, go ahead and add a little bit more cream to thin out. Enjoy!
Like I said, this is definitely a very high calorie dish, but it was completely worth it. Life is all about moderation. It is okay to eat foods like this only every once in a while and as long as you try and live a relatively active lifestyle. Like one of my Instagram followers said, this is a #noBSfood! Now get frosting and enjoy 🙂
