Croffles (Croissant Waffles)

Why This Croffles (Croissant Waffles) Works

Simple ingredients, smart technique. This recipe relies on a few key moves that transform everyday ingredients into something that tastes way more special than the effort involved.

These croffles turn store-bought croissant dough into the crispiest, most buttery waffles you have ever tasted. ♡

The magic here is all about the waffle iron. It presses layers of flaky croissant dough into deeply caramelized, shatteringly crisp pockets that stay soft and airy inside. The result is something between a croissant and a Belgian waffle, and it takes about 5 minutes.

Grab your waffle iron and some croissant dough. Let’s make it together.

Ingredients

Croffles

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated croissant dough
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Maple syrup for serving

Optional toppings:

• Fresh berries
• Nutella or chocolate spread
• Whipped cream
• Cinnamon sugar

How to Make Croffles

1. Heat. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high and brush lightly with melted butter.
2. Prep. Unroll the croissant dough and separate into triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, just like you would shape a croissant.
3. Press. Place one or two rolled croissants onto the waffle iron and close the lid. Press for 3 to 4 minutes until deeply golden and crispy on both sides (don’t open too early).
4. Serve. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm and drizzle with maple syrup. Top with fresh berries or Nutella if you like.

Tips for the Best Croffles (Croissant Waffles)

• Use full-size croissant dough, not the crescent roll minis, for the best flaky layers.
• Brush the waffle iron with butter before every batch for extra crunch and golden color.
• Don’t open the waffle iron too early or the dough will stick and tear.
• Eat them right away because croffles lose their crispness fast.
• You can fill them like a sandwich with Nutella and sliced strawberries.

Fun Variations to Try

• Cinnamon sugar croffles: toss warm croffles in cinnamon sugar like a churro.
• Savory croffles: top with scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon.
• S’mores croffles: spread with Nutella and top with mini marshmallows under the broiler.
• Ice cream croffles: serve warm croffles with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Everything bagel croffles: sprinkle everything seasoning on top before pressing.
