Ingredients You’ll Need

One of the best things about Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites is just how approachable the ingredients list is—no need to hunt far and wide. Each simple item plays a crucial role in creating the perfect texture and taste, from the flaky biscuits to the fragrant cinnamon. Here’s what you’ll gather:

Biscuit dough: For ultimate convenience and fluffiness, a can of buttermilk or flaky style biscuits takes the spotlight in this recipe.
Granulated sugar: The base of our iconic coating, sugar brings the crispy, sweet crunch that makes each bite sparkle.
Cinnamon: This warm, aromatic spice transforms ordinary sugar into the magical finish every biscuit bite craves.
Butter: Melted butter acts as both the flavor booster and the glue, allowing the cinnamon sugar to happily stick to every nook and cranny.

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by heating your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. That way, these sweet little bites won’t stick, and cleanup stays stress-free.

Step 2: Prep the Biscuits

Pop open your biscuit can (always fun!) and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces, then roll them gently into small balls and space them out on your prepared baking sheet. They’ll spread while baking—don’t worry if they’re not perfect!

Step 3: Bake Until Golden

Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. As they cook, your kitchen will fill with warm, buttery aromas. The bites won’t stay perfectly round, but their golden edges promise soft pillowy centers.

Step 4: Mix the Cinnamon Sugar

While your bites are baking, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. This simple combo is what really makes Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites sing. Set it aside for the delicious finishing touch.

Step 5: Cool Slightly

Once baked, let the biscuit bites cool on the tray for about five minutes. If you used flaky biscuits, try breaking them in half for extra surface area—more places for that cinnamon sugar to cling! Put them all into a big mixing bowl.

Step 6: Coat with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar

Pour the melted butter over the warm biscuit pieces and gently toss to coat every bit. Immediately sprinkle over the cinnamon sugar and stir again, making sure each bite gets its fair share of sparkle.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Your Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are ready to eat! Serve warm for ultimate comfort, or let them cool fully if you’re stashing some for later (if any survive that long).

How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Garnishes

Dress up your Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites with a simple dusting of extra cinnamon sugar for visual appeal and flavor. If you’re feeling fancy, a drizzle of vanilla or cream cheese glaze instantly upgrades them into dessert territory.

Side Dishes

Pair these bites with seasonal fresh fruit for brunch, or dunk them into a little bowl of vanilla yogurt. Nothing says weekend breakfast like a mug of hot coffee or cocoa on the side—perfect for catching up over something warm and sweet.

Creative Ways to Present

Pile your biscuit bites into a festive bowl or line them up on a platter for sharing. For parties, thread a few onto skewers for a fun grab-and-go treat, or tuck them into bakery bags as take-home treats for guests.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites truly shine when fresh, but if you have leftovers, keep them covered at room temperature for up to one day. This keeps them soft and prevents them from drying out.

Freezing

If you’d like to stash some for later, freeze the uncoated, baked biscuit bites in an airtight container. When you’re ready to serve, thaw and then warm them gently before tossing with melted butter and cinnamon sugar.

Reheating

To reheat, simply pop the stored bites in a 300°F oven for about five minutes until warmed through, or zap them in the microwave for a few seconds. Recoating with a pinch of extra cinnamon sugar will bring back their irresistible flavor.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned?

Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough works beautifully in this recipe. As long as the dough is fluffy and soft, you’ll get delicious results.

How do I keep the bites from getting soggy?

For best texture, coat the biscuit bites while they’re still warm, but not hot from the oven. If they cool too much before coating, reheat them briefly before tossing with butter and cinnamon sugar.

Can I add other spices or mix-ins?

Definitely! Nutmeg or cardamom are cozy additions to the cinnamon sugar mixture. For a touch of crunch, try tossing in some finely chopped pecans or walnuts.

Are these Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites good for kids to help make?

Yes—this recipe is super kid-friendly! Little hands can help roll dough balls, mix cinnamon sugar, and even toss the finished bites in their sweet coating.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! Use a vegan biscuit dough (found at some specialty stores), plant-based butter, and you’re set. All the warmth and sweetness, none of the dairy.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe with a sprinkle of nostalgia, Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are a must-bake. Whether you’re sharing them with loved ones or sneaking a couple just for you, these sweet morsels deliver joy in every bite. Give them a try and watch smiles appear around your table!

Description

These Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are a delightful treat that are easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Bites:

1 can biscuits (16.3 ounces), buttermilk or flaky style

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ stick butter, melted (2 ounces)

Instructions

Heat oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare biscuits. Open biscuit can and separate biscuits. Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. They spread during baking and don’t stay round. This is normal.
Make the cinnamon sugar. While the biscuits bake, prepare the cinnamon sugar. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.
Cool. Remove biscuits from oven and allow them to cool for five minutes. If you want, break them in half. Flaky biscuits break in half easily. Place the biscuits into a large bowl.
Coat. Pour melted butter over the biscuits and stir to coat. Add the cinnamon sugar. Stir to coat.
Store. Cinnamon-sugar biscuit bites are best enjoyed the day they are made. If you have leftovers, store them covered on the counter for one day.
