Could there be a more delicious combination than churros and waffles? They're basically an excuse to eat dessert for breakfast. They have all the sweet cinnamon-y flavor, crunchy outside, and soft middle of a churro. They’re 20x faster and easier than homemade churros too—no need to fuss with rolling out dough and throwing it in the deep fryer. Deep frying gets messy, and nobody wants to clean that up.
Thankfully this churro waffle isn’t fried, so you can lie to yourself and say that it’s healthy. Denial at its finest.
Start with Lehi Mills Belgian Waffle Mix. The churro waffles turn out soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Reminiscent of a good churro. Keep them warm in the oven until your ready to churro-fy them. They’ll stay nice and crispy.
Now, the most important part. Churro-fy the waffle. Break each waffle into four pieces. This will allow you to properly cover each section. Brush each section with melted butter using a pastry brush and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar. You can roll it in the cinnamon sugar to make it quicker, but it will be much prettier and more evenly coated if you sprinkle it.
Feel free to eat with your hands. Serve with whipped cream and berries, or dip in chocolate ganache or dulce de leche.
You’ll want to eat it hot and crispy, but if you need to reheat it, you’re in luck! These waffles reheat remarkably well. Reheat in a toaster oven until golden. Be careful to watch them closely—the sugar burns fairly quickly. They will be amazingly crispy!
