Description
Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are soft, buttery treats coated in sweet cinnamon sugar and topped with vanilla icing. Quick to make with simple ingredients, this 25-minute recipe is perfect for brunch, snacks, or dessert. A family favorite made right from refrigerated biscuits!
Ingredients
For the Biscuit Bites:
1 tube refrigerated biscuits (standard size, not Grands)
4 tablespoons butter
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Icing:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray so the coated biscuit bites don’t stick. Line up your mixing bowls and tools on the counter for a smooth workflow.
In a shallow glass bowl, melt the butter in the microwave at reduced power to avoid splattering. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
Using kitchen shears, scissors, or a knife, cut each biscuit into thirds. Place the pieces on a plate in a single layer so they stay separated and easier to handle.
Work in an assembly‑line fashion: dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon‑sugar mixture until fully coated. Arrange every coated piece in the prepared baking dish so they sit snugly but not crowded.
Bake the coated biscuits for 15 to 18 minutes or until the top is deep golden brown. These bites should feel soft on the inside with slightly crisp edges that hold that beautiful cinnamon‑sugar coating.
While the bites cool for a few minutes, combine the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add a little more milk; if it’s too thin, add more sugar.
Once the biscuit bites are warm but not piping hot, drizzle the vanilla icing over the top. Serve warm for the best melt‑in‑your‑mouth experience.
Notes
This recipe can be easily doubled using 2 biscuit tubes and a 9×13 baking dish. For a twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or drizzle with maple glaze instead of vanilla icing.
