Quick Cinnamon Roll Bites
If you love the cozy flavor of cinnamon rolls but want something faster and easier, these Quick Cinnamon Roll Bites are such a fun treat. They bake up golden, soft, and sweet, with a buttery cinnamon sugar coating that feels just right for breakfast or dessert.
Equipment
- 1 Baking Dish
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough cut into small pieces
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 0.333 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and lightly grease a baking dish. Cut the biscuit dough into bite-size pieces so they bake evenly and are easy to serve.
- Place the dough pieces in a bowl, then drizzle with melted butter. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together, then toss everything until the pieces are well coated.
- Spread the coated dough in the baking dish and bake until the bites are puffed and lightly golden on top. The centers should be soft, but not doughy.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and alcohol-free vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Add a little more milk if you want a thinner drizzle.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites right before serving. I like to let them sit for a minute so the glaze settles into every little nook.
Notes
If you want a richer finish, you can use half and half instead of milk in the glaze. For extra warmth, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar. If you prefer a different dough, soft dinner roll dough works well too.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds until warm. If you want the glaze to look fresh again, drizzle a little extra on top after reheating.
