These Churro Waffles are tender, sweet, and slightly crunchy on the outside!
You know churros: the fried dough pastry that's often coated in cinnamon and sugar. The cinnamon sugar coating gives a slight crunch to these tender, cinnamon-y waffles.
I drizzled these waffles with just a bit of maple syrup. They'd be great with a chocolate sauce, too. I love how that bit of syrup looks, pooling on the napkin.
These churro waffles are a jazzed up version of my Classic Waffle recipe. If you're looking for other waffle recipes, also check out my Pumpkin Waffles and Sweet Potato Waffles with Candied Pecans.

Oh my goodness. Everything about these waffles sounds perfect, and the addition of cinnamon sugar? Be still my heart! We just got a waffle iron, so I have no doubt we'll be whipping some of these beauts up soon!
