# What You Need:
→ Waffle batter
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1 3/4 cups whole milk
07 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Cinnamon sugar swirl
09 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
10 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
11 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
→ Cream cheese glaze
12 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
13 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
14 - 3/4 cup powdered sugar
15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or melted butter.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the whole milk, melted cooled butter and vanilla until homogenous.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; small lumps are fine—avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender.
05 - Stir together the melted butter, packed light brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
06 - Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron, then drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon mixture over the batter and use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it into the surface.
07 - Close the iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes depending on your appliance; transfer to a wire rack and repeat with remaining batter and swirl.
08 - Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth, add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then add milk one tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches a pourable consistency.
09 - Arrange waffles warm, drizzle generously with the cream cheese glaze and serve immediately.
