If you've ever had churros dipped in chocolate, you know what this recipe is all about. Churros are perfectly crunchy, cinnamon sugar-dusted sticks of goodness, dunked in creamy chocolate—a dream come true. But turning your waffles into churros for breakfast? That's heaven.
It may sound complicated, but it couldn't be easier. Simply prepare waffles like you normally would, brush with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Drizzle on some melted chocolate and you've got a perfect, decadent breakfast for a special weekend.
Kids love them, too! Cut the waffles into sticks for an adorable, hand-held breakfast. Little ones can dip the sticks into the melted chocolate and feel like they're having dessert for breakfast! They can also help with brushing the waffles with butter and dusting them with the cinnamon sugar, for an interactive experience they'll ask for again and again.

Variations
- You can keep it simple with melted chocolate, or you can try your hand at homemade hot fudge sauce, caramel sauce, cream cheese icing, or just use plain old maple syrup! They all go super-well with the cinnamon sugar.
Tips
- You can make the waffles ahead of time and heat them up in the oven before coating them in cinnamon sugar. The waffles freeze very well and toast up nicely. A crispier waffle is ideal for this recipe.
- Make sure to use salted butter for brushing the waffles. You need the salty and sweet combination for the ultimate flavor.
- You can make them into mini waffles for added cuteness. Just add less batter to your waffle iron.
