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.

Boyfriend loved them, although he preferred the non carmelized sides so I guess next time I won’t be broiling them…although I thought the carmelized bits were delicious, too!
Definitely modify to your liking!
So in my pic i just dipped them and made some icing put on the side you’re my daughter likes to dip them I don’t know if I’m going to put them back in the oven for a couple more minutes or what I’m going to do because I don’t want to broil them thank you very easy to make and loved it I think I’d get them a little too much though
Those look amazing, Suze!
This after i dipped them.
Do you have to broil them? My kids like them soft inside and out. Is it ok to use regular pizza/bread dough?
You can modify it to your liking!
Made these with some homemade mini biscuits (made my biscuit dough and cut into 1-1.5 inch cubes). Came out wonderful e
Thanks for sharing, Jeremy!
Im doing brunch for a crowd, could I bake these the night before, store in an airtight container and then dip and broil them in the morning? Not sure how well the biscuirs will stay?
I am not quite sure it will be the right texture, but you can give it a shot!
i needed something to do with my biscuits and this was a delicious idea

These are delicous!! But make sure you cook the biscuits all the way. I was able to eat them on my diet!
