When it comes to sweet breakfasts, I’d prefer anything waffle, pancake or croissant. It’s probably that buttery dough that I really REALLY love. For this croffle, I wanted to recreate a Cinnamon Bun with a coffee flavor. So, I mixed my favorite coffee powder (Chikko Not Coffee, non spon) with cinnamon and butter. Then I smeared it on the inside of the store-bought croissant pastry and rolled it up. After that, I let the waffle maker do the work – really, it’s that easy 😉
Pair it with my super delicious and quick vanilla yoghurt glaze and you have a smashing sweet breakfast for the weekend!

Instructions
- In a bowl add the cinnamon, coffee powder and softened butter. Mix it to a paste.
- Then spread a layer of butter on the croissant and roll it up.
- Place the croffles in a waffle iron and keep it in there for a few minutes. Mine took about 2-3 minutes.
