Cinnamon Waffles with Yeast

Light, crisp, and full of flavor, these cinnamon waffles with yeast are a wholesome twist on classic diner-style waffles. The yeast creates a tender interior with crispy edges and adds a subtle depth of flavor you simply can’t get from quick batters. Even better? You can prep the batter the night before for an easy, stress-free morning.
