    A recipe for a sweet orange breakfast waffle, flavored with orange zest, juice, and cinnamon. This elevated breakfast can be ready in 15 minutes.

    My kids love Pillsbury orange rolls. I don’t particularly like to buy them, but I was inspired to make a quick breakfast with similar flavors – sweet, orange and cinnamon. I opted for a waffle recipe because that is something easy I can whip up and make before heading out to a morning sports game. 

    These waffles are soft and not super dense. If you like a thicker waffle, simply decrease the amount of milk in the recipe.

    Ingredients you’ll need

    • Dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, sugar
    • Orange Zest: The zest from 1-2 oranges. 
    • Milk: I use regular 2% milk. 
    • Orange Juice: This adds extra orange flavor and sweetness. Milk can be substituted if juice is not available. 
    • Eggs
    • Butter: Melted, slightly cooled butter. A neutral flavored oil may be substituted. 
    • Vanilla Extract

    Serving

    Serve waffles warm with desired toppings. These make a sweeter waffle so syrup is optional.

    I like to serve with orange slices and powdered sugar for what feels like a fun and somewhat elevated weekend breakfast. My son likes to top with fresh blueberries, and I think they would be delightful with a blueberry syrup.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar + 1 Tbsp.
    • 2 tsp. baking powder
    • 1 tsp. cinnamon
    • ¼ tsp. salt
    • 1 Tbsp. orange zest
    • 1 ½ cups milk
    • ¼ cup orange juice
    • 2 eggs lightly beaten
    • 4 Tbsp. butter melted
    • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

    Instructions
     

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and orange zest.
    • Make a well in the center and stir in milk, orange juice, eggs, butter and vanilla extract. Stir until a batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
    • Cook waffles in preheated waffle iron on medium heat. Serve with desired toppings.

    Notes

    Zest - from the juice of 1-2 oranges
    These make a softer waffle. If you like a thicker waffle, simply decrease the amount of milk in the recipe.
