Ingredients You’ll Need
You only need a few simple ingredients to make these warm, sweet bites:

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Cut the Biscuits
Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces — this gives you perfect, bite-sized portions.
3. Mix the Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Stir well to create an even mixture.
4. Coat the Bites
Dip each biscuit piece in the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Place the coated bites evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to expand.
5. Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the bites are puffed up and golden brown. The kitchen will fill with the irresistible scent of cinnamon — a sure sign they’re almost done!
6. (Optional) Add a Glaze
For an extra indulgent touch, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites right before serving.
Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites
Don’t skip the butter: It helps the cinnamon sugar stick and gives the bites a buttery, crisp exterior.
Use air fryer alternative: For an even quicker method, cook them in the air fryer at 350°F for 6–8 minutes.
Try different coatings: Swap cinnamon sugar for pumpkin spice in fall or a cocoa-sugar blend for a chocolate twist.
Serve warm: These are best enjoyed right out of the oven when they’re still soft and fluffy inside.
Serving Ideas
Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are delicious on their own, but here are a few fun ways to enjoy them:
Serve with dipping sauces: Cream cheese icing, caramel, or chocolate sauce make great pairings.
Add fruit: Pair with fresh strawberries, apples, or bananas for a balanced breakfast platter.
Make it festive: Top with holiday sprinkles or drizzle with colored glaze for a party-ready treat.
How to Store Them
If you somehow have leftovers (a rare occurrence!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to bring back that fresh-baked softness.
