French Toast Waffles

Sorry, today no baking-recipe! I'm studying for my last exam this schoolyear and it's too hot to bake. Nevertheless, I need something sweet and indulging to get me through my studying, which is why I whipped out my favorite waffles recipe: French Toast Waffles! It's a pretty ordinary waffles recipe, except from the cinnamon, but the cinnamon is the key ingredient. It really makes the waffles taste like french toast, yet has the airy and light consistency of waffles. Enjoy!

The waffles-batter. Very brown because of the cinnamon.

I love eating waffles with some fresh fruit. It's a healthier replacement of maple syrup.

Alright, alright, maybe I did eat these with a little bit of maple syrup!
