Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites are the ultimate comfort snack—warm, sweet, buttery, and ready in minutes. These bite-sized treats are golden and crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and coated with an irresistible mix of cinnamon and sugar. Whether you serve them as a quick breakfast, a fun dessert, or a cozy snack for guests, they’ll disappear almost instantly from the plate. The best part? They’re made from simple canned biscuits and a few pantry ingredients, so you can whip them up anytime without special tools or experience.
Ingredients
- 1 small roll of canned biscuits
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup melted butter (for dipping)
Optional glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray. Open your canned biscuits and separate them onto a clean surface. - Cut into bite-sized pieces
Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into quarters or smaller pieces depending on how big you want your bites. These smaller pieces make the perfect poppable size once baked. - Mix the cinnamon sugar
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. This simple blend is the key to that classic flavor everyone loves. The aroma alone will make your kitchen smell like a bakery. - Dip and coat
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Dip each biscuit piece in the butter, making sure it’s fully coated, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until covered on all sides. Place each piece onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them so they can puff up while baking. - Bake to golden perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the bites are puffed and lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them during the last couple of minutes to prevent overbaking. They should look slightly crisp on the outside but remain soft inside. - Cool and glaze (optional)
Let the biscuit bites cool slightly on a wire rack. If you’d like to add a drizzle, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm bites for an extra touch of sweetness and a bakery-style finish.
Serving Ideas
These cinnamon sugar biscuit bites are delicious on their own, but you can easily dress them up:
- For breakfast: Serve them with coffee, tea, or a glass of warm milk for a quick morning treat.
- As dessert: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dip them in caramel or cream cheese glaze.
- For parties: Pile them into a bowl or skewer them on sticks for easy grab-and-go snacks.
They’re perfect for holiday gatherings, brunch buffets, or family movie nights when you want something easy yet indulgent.
Tips for Best Results
- Don’t skip the butter: It helps the cinnamon sugar stick and gives the bites that golden, slightly crisp crust.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer less sugar, you can cut the coating recipe in half or use a sugar substitute.
- Air fryer option: For a faster version, cook them in an air fryer at 330°F (165°C) for 6–8 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Storage: Store leftovers (if any!) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds before serving to bring back that fresh-baked flavor.
