What’s in Cinnamon Roll Bites
Gather 4 simple ingredients to make these quick and easy cinnamon bites with biscuits. Whether you’re making these for a sweet breakfast or dessert, they’ll be ready fast!
- Biscuit Dough: Use a can of refrigerated biscuit dough for this recipe.
- Butter: Use 1 stick of salted butter, fully melted. This helps coat the biscuit bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Sugar: I recommend using granulated white sugar, but you can use brown sugar if you prefer.
- Cinnamon: Use ground cinnamon.
Use a cream cheese frosting or sweet icing for dipping or glazing!
Can I make these sweet biscuit bites in an Air Fryer?
Yes, you can follow the same instructions, using the Air Fryer instead of the oven. Place the biscuit dough pieces in an Air Fryer at 350F, and cook for about 6-9 minutes. Keep an eye on them because the dough will cook slightly faster than the oven.
You can use a can of cinnamon rolls instead of biscuit dough if you like, but you will get slightly different results. The biscuits will get crispy and chewy, while the cinnamon rolls will be more gooey and doughy. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.
You want to bake the biscuit dough just until cooked, so they will still be pale in color. But they shouldn’t look doughy, wet, or soft–that means they’re done quite done yet.
How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Bites
Store cinnamon sugar biscuit bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
If you want to warm them up, pop them under the broiler, in the Air Fryer, or in the microwave.
How to Freeze Crispy Cinnabites
For best results, wrap a handful of bites in aluminum foil, then place them all in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw them before eating or reheating.
What to Serve with Cinnamon Biscuit Bites
These sweet cinnamon roll bites are made to be served with a cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk. They taste amazing with this iced honey cinnamon latte, and some crispy breakfast potatoes to balance the sweetness. This combo makes a great breakfast or afternoon snack.
If you’re making these for a dessert, drizzle them with a sweet icing, or serve them with ice cream.

Thank it was so good
Glad to hear that!
Can you substitute the melted butter with egg instead?
The taste would be different but it would work for crisping them up and sticking on the cinnamon sugar.
Try frying them in a deep fryer or pot of oil, will change your world!
MUST TRY!
Did you dip them in sugar and cinnamon before or after deep frying them??
What a brilliant idea and so easy to make. I am going to try these out this weekend. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
Do you think these would work with homemade biscuit dough? I try not to buy pre-made stuff cause than I know whats in it. Love the idea and also the fact that they are baked and not fried.
Just made with my leftover homemade biscuit dough from two days ago. They were delicious! I am so glad to have a use for the leftover dough…. other than fried pies.
Thanks for sharing!
How do you store these?
I love these so much! They were super easy and super fun to make. Great for gatherings!
Do you think these would
Be just as good if you dipped the dough in butter the. Cinnamon/sugar mix before baking?
Yes…then dip in butter again and dip in the cinnamon sugar and then broil. Maybe one more time for good measure.
What I like is that they aren’t deep fried. I don’t deep fry anything. My Mom would make them deep fried and they were delicious. These sound just as good, but ” a little bit” healthier. LOL,
I have a lot of those days, I’m afraid… :D However, these Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites look like the perfect antidote – don’t you love the recipes that are just too easy (and delicious!) too be true? ;) Can’t wait to try these sometime!
