Cinnamon Zucchini Waffles
I love Waffles. They’re the perfect breakfast, dessert, snack – whatever. You’re going to love these Cinnamon Zucchini Waffles. They’re super filling. I bagged the leftovers, froze them and now I can pop them in the toaster (or re heat in the waffle maker) for a quick and easy breakfast for when the baby comes.

Whenever we cook waffles my six-year-old sings a little jingle (waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles). He got it from that super annoying Teen Titans show but I have to admit, the song is catchy and I find myself singing along.
Today I wanted to update this homemade waffle recipe that I originally found on Gimme Some Oven and adjust it a bit to what our family needs. I’ve been making her recipe for years, it’s what I made and froze when I was pregnant with my son and now that I’m expecting a little girl, I guess I’m feeling sentimental because here I am typing away while my kitchen smells like cinnamon and vanilla.
I love that I froze this recipe for when both my babies were due to come without knowing it. Looking at on old recipes is fun.
TBK’s Pro Tip: In this recipe, I use almond milk but I’ve used skim, whole, cashew, and coconut and the waffles always turn out beautifully.
Zucchini Waffles
TBK’s Pro Tip: Cook the waffles a little longer than usual, the zucchini adds additional liquid that requires the batter a bit longer to cook.
Supplies and ingredients I use when making cinnamon zucchini waffles:
- Waffle Iron (here’s the one I bought
) - Vanilla extract

These cinnamon zucchini waffles are super filling. I’m one that can pound back a meal no problem, and when I made this update – I could barely eat one full one. When you add additions like strawberries, raspberries, and other fruit – you’re adding more fiber and that will help fill you up even further.
I like this served with strawberries and whipped cream.
So tell me, are you a maple syrup fan or a fruit and whipped fan?

I love zucchini in sweets. It is a great way to get a vegetable into your family without the hassle. My neighbor grows tons every summer so I grate and freeze them for winter recipes. I’ll be pinning this one for later.
Zucchini is good in everything! A great way to keep items moist, and it’s fun to be sneaky haha.
Thanks for pinning!
I would of never thought to put zucchini in waffles in a million years – great idea for sure.
This sounds fabulous! I can’t wait to try these out! I am going to try them this weekend. Thank you for sharing!
Oh wow, that actually sounds quite delicious! never thought about hiding zucchini in waffles before! Brilliant.
These sound absolutely scrumptious! One of my favorite muffins is a zucchini walnut muffin so these waffles sound right up my alley.
Zucchini is good in everything!
Oh YUM those sound so good! Much better than the breakfast I had this morning lol
What a great idea! Zucchini is that last thing I would ever think of putting in waffles!

I can’t wait to try these!
i love the zucchini addition – never thought of that
I noticed that there wasn’t any oil or butter in this recipe. You might want to fix that. I looked to the comments to see if anyone else raised that concern. All comments I saw were people saying can’t wait to try. They are going to be pretty disappointed if they don’t know better than to add batter to a waffle iron without it.
