There is something special about starting your day with a perfectly golden brown waffle. I usually make waffles on a lazy Sunday morning with some bacon and then immediately need a nap. These cinnamon chocolate chip waffles with cinnamon whipped cream will up your Sunday waffle game! They aren't your average waffles, they are so much better and more decadent!
Sure we have all put chocolate chips in our waffles before, but you probably haven't tried it with a little cinnamon mixed in. And let me tell you... you've been missing out! If you are weary of this flavor combo think of it this way: the chocolate adds the perfect level of sweetness and the cinnamon adds a bit of savoriness to balance out. I especially love making these waffles on a fall morning. The cinnamon adds a layer of coziness and warmth that is perfect as the weather starts to cool down.
If you are looking for a new waffle iron, I have the Cuisinart Round Classic Waffle Iron and highly recommend it. It has 5 different heat settings and lets you know when it is pre-heated and when the waffles are cooked through. It is pretty foolproof.
I hope you love these waffles as much as my family and I do. If you make these cinnamon chocolate chip waffles with cinnamon whipped cream, please leave a comment below! I'd love nothing more than to hear what you think.

Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Waffles
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon butter plus more for topping, if desired
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk or half and half
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup avocado oil or other mild oil
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Cinnamon Whip Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron to medium-high heat (mine has a 1-5 heat setting and I turn it on between 3 and 4).
- Start by making the brown butter. Heat a small saucepan on medium-high heat and add the butter. Continually swirl the pan until butter begins foaming and there are auburn brown bits at the bottom, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a spatula or spoon to mix together brown butter, eggs, vanilla, milk, sugar, and vegetable oil until combined, Add the cinnamon, flour, and baking powder and stir until there are little to no lumps. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Spoon about ¾ of a cup of batter into the heated waffle iron (note: the amount will vary depending on the size of your waffle iron. I use a standard sized waffle iron).
- Cook waffles until golden brown and cooked through. Time varies per waffle iron, but mine takes 2-3 minutes. Top with cinnamon whipped cream (below) and a little butter (optional).
- Meanwhile, make the whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or standing mixer to whisk together heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
