We adore waffles, pancakes, and French toast — each has its moment depending on the mood. Lately, waffles have been winning rounds at our table, especially when they’re loaded with rich flavors. This recipe brings together crunchy Biscoff cookie crumbs and warm cinnamon in the waffle batter, finished with a silky Nutella-mascarpone cream that turns breakfast into an indulgent treat. If you love chocolate-hazelnut spread and cookie spice, these Biscoff Cinnamon Waffles with Nutella Cream will quickly become a favorite.
What’s in this waffle recipe?
This recipe started as a simple weekend experiment and became something we kept repeating. The batter is built from familiar pantry staples — flour, milk, egg, baking powder, a touch of sugar and cinnamon — but the secret to the texture and flavor is crumbled Biscoff cookies folded into the batter. The cookies add both sweetness and a subtle caramelized spice that makes each bite interesting.
For best results use a reliable waffle iron and preheat it properly so the exterior crisps and the interior stays tender. A nonstick spray or a little melted butter helps the waffles release cleanly. You can adapt the batter slightly for your waffle iron size by adding a splash more milk if it seems too thick.
Nutella Mascarpone Cream Sauce
The Nutella-mascarpone cream is simple but transformative. A blend of Nutella, mascarpone, and a little heavy cream becomes a rich, spoonable sauce when gently warmed and whisked together. A pinch of nutmeg and a touch of salt balance the sweetness and add depth to the flavor. This cream is versatile — use it over waffles, pancakes, or French toast, or serve it alongside fruit and pastries.
Because the sauce is flexible, you can adjust the consistency by adding more cream for a pourable topping or more Nutella for a thicker, spreadable texture. It reheats well over low heat if you make it ahead and want it warm for serving.
Enjoy!
These waffles are best served fresh and warm, topped with the Nutella-mascarpone cream and finished with powdered sugar, extra crumbled Biscoff cookies, and fresh strawberries for brightness. They make an indulgent weekend breakfast or a special brunch centerpiece. If you try this recipe, tag @cooking_with_wine on Instagram — we love seeing your photos and variations.
