Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how simple and fast this recipe is to pull together. With just a few pantry staples and no need to make dough from scratch, it’s ideal for busy mornings or last-minute cravings. The bites come out golden and crisp on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. Plus, they taste like mini cinnamon sugar donuts!
ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
directions
I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then I open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces.
In a small bowl, I mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
I dip each biscuit piece in the melted butter, making sure it’s fully coated.
After that, I roll each buttered piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully covered.
I arrange the coated biscuit bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
I bake them for 12–15 minutes or until they’re golden brown and puffed up.
Once out of the oven, I let them cool slightly before serving.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 32 bites, perfect for serving 6–8 people. The total time needed is approximately 25 minutes: 10 minutes for prep and 12–15 minutes for baking.
Variations
When I want a twist, I sometimes add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mix for extra warmth. For a sticky treat, I drizzle the bites with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. If I’m feeling indulgent, I even dip them in melted chocolate or serve them with a cream cheese frosting on the side.
storage/reheating
I store leftover biscuit bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, I pop them in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm them in a low oven (about 300°F) for a few minutes until soft and warm again.
FAQs
How do I make sure the biscuit bites don’t stick together while baking?
I make sure to leave a little space between each piece on the baking sheet so they can bake evenly and not clump together.
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned?
Yes, I can use homemade dough if I prefer. The texture might be slightly different, but it will still taste delicious.
Can I air fry these instead of baking?
Absolutely. I air fry them at 350°F for about 6–8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
What kind of cinnamon works best?
I use ground cinnamon for this recipe. Any good-quality brand will work, but Ceylon cinnamon has a milder, sweeter flavor if I want a more delicate touch.
Can I freeze the biscuit bites?
I can freeze the baked and cooled bites in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month. To reheat, I warm them in the oven straight from frozen.
Conclusion
Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are one of my go-to quick treats when I want something sweet, warm, and satisfying. They’re easy to make, fun to eat, and perfect for sharing—though I usually end up keeping a few extras for myself.
