Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking pan or a Bundt pan.
- Quarter each biscuit and roll the pieces into small balls.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip each biscuit ball into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Place the coated balls into your prepared pan.
- Combine any remaining melted butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture, then pour it evenly over the biscuits.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
- While the bites are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla, and milk until smooth to create the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites immediately after pulling them from the oven.
Best ways to enjoy it
Serve these Easy Cinnamon Roll Bites warm, perhaps with a steaming cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. You can plate them on a decorative dish, dust them lightly with powdered sugar, or even add a side of fresh fruit for a colorful contrast. They’re perfect as a sweet breakfast treat or a nostalgic dessert.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To enjoy, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through. For longer preservation, these bites can be frozen; just ensure they’re in a well-sealed container, and they’ll last up to two months. Always remember to cool them completely before freezing to maintain texture.
Pro chef tips

- Don’t skip the glaze—it’s what makes these bites extra special!
