Ingredients
all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups
granulated sugar
2 tablespoons
baking powder
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
large eggs
2
buttermilk
2 cups
vegetable oil
1/4 cup
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
butter (melted)
1/2 cup
packed brown sugar
3/4 cup

2 ounces (softened)
powdered sugar
3/4 cup

1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Create a well in the center of these dry ingredients and set aside.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together until well-blended. Slowly pour this wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just moistened; it's okay if the batter remains slightly lumpy.
3
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly coat the grid with nonstick spray. Pour a generous amount of batter into the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and fully cooked, adhering to your waffle iron’s guidelines. Carefully use a fork to remove each finished waffle and place on a warming tray in a 200°F oven if needed. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
4
For the cinnamon topping, combine the melted butter, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix well until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a small ziplock bag and set aside for easy drizzling later.
5
To prepare the cream cheese drizzle, heat the butter and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 to 60 seconds until melted. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until you achieve a creamy, pourable consistency.
6
When ready to serve, place a warmed waffle on a plate, drizzle with the cinnamon topping, and finish with a generous drizzle of the cream cheese mixture. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!
