No reviews

Buttery, cinnamon-sugar coated biscuit bites baked to golden perfection, then finished with a quick vanilla glaze. These 20-minute Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are the no-fuss sweet you can whip up anytime—crispy edges, tender middles, and a sparkly cinnamon finish.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: ~32 bites (about 6 servings)

Ingredients

  • Canned biscuits (small roll) — 1 roll (keep chilled until ready)

  • Sugar (white + brown mix) — ¼ cup (50/50 blend)

  • Ground cinnamon — 1 tsp

  • Butter — 1–2 Tbsp, for melting in the pan

For the Icing

  • Powdered sugar — ¼ cup, sifted

  • Milk — 1–2 tsp (adjust to drizzle consistency)

  • Vanilla extract — ⅛ tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Melt Butter — Preheat oven to 350°F (175–180°C). Add 1–2 Tbsp butter to a 6×9-inch baking pan and place in the oven to melt, coating the base and corners.

  2. Cut the Biscuits — Open the biscuit tube and cut each biscuit into quarters (keep dough cold for cleaner cuts).

  3. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar — In a large zip-top bag or bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar (half white, half brown) with 1 tsp cinnamon. Add biscuit pieces and toss/shake to coat evenly (work in two batches if needed).

  4. Arrange in Pan — Remove hot, buttered pan carefully. Spread coated dough in a single layer with a little space between pieces for airflow.

  5. Bake — Bake 15 minutes, until puffed, golden, and set in the center. Edges should look caramelized; tops should spring back to a gentle press.

  6. Make Icing — Whisk ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1–2 tsp milk, and ⅛ tsp vanilla until smooth and pourable; adjust thickness with a drop of milk or a spoon of sugar.

  7. Finish & Serve — Drizzle icing over hot bites. Serve warm for best crisp-meets-tender texture. (Optional: dust with a pinch of cinnamon sugar before icing sets.)

Notes

  • Pan size swap: A small 8×8-inch pan works; watch for 1–2 extra minutes if pieces touch.

  • Extra crisp: Leave more space between pieces or use two pans.

  • Flavor twists: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the sugar mix; sub orange juice for part of the milk in icing.

  • Storage: Best same day. Cool fully, store airtight at room temp 1 day. Re-crisp at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 min.

  • Serving idea: Dip in warm caramel or chocolate sauce for dessert boards.
