Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 6 | Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 10-12 mins)
For the Biscuit Bites:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Glaze (Optional):
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures the bites don’t stick and makes for easy cleanup.
2. Cut the Biscuits into Bite-Sized Pieces
Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each one into four pieces and gently roll each piece into a small ball.
3. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
Dip each biscuit ball into melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until every side is covered.
4. Bake Until Golden Brown
Place the coated biscuit bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
(Pro tip: If you want extra-crispy edges, bake them on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet!)
5. Make the Glaze (Optional)
While the biscuit bites are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. If you want a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner drizzle, add a little more milk.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Once the biscuit bites come out of the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes before drizzling them with glaze. Or, serve the glaze on the side for dipping—because who doesn’t love extra sweetness?
Enjoy them warm, with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or even a glass of milk!
My Tips for the Best Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites
- Use fresh biscuit dough: While any refrigerated biscuit dough works, I find that flaky biscuits give the best texture.
- For extra crunch: Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes to get crispier edges.
- Want even more cinnamon flavor? Add a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze for an extra warm spice kick.
- Make them ahead: You can prep and coat the bites in cinnamon sugar ahead of time, then bake them fresh when ready.
What to Serve with These Biscuit Bites
These sweet little treats are amazing on their own, but if you want to make them part of a larger spread, here are some great ideas:
- Coffee or lattes: A warm, cinnamon-spiced latte pairs perfectly with these bites.
- Fruit: Serve with fresh berries or apple slices for a nice balance of flavors.
- Ice cream: Warm biscuit bites + a scoop of vanilla ice cream? Absolute heaven!
