Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites


  • 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers)
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1½ tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Optional Vanilla Glaze:

  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Don’t skip melting the butter—it helps the cinnamon sugar cling and adds richness.
  • Use buttermilk biscuits for the softest, flakiest texture.
  • Make it festive: Add a pinch of nutmeg or orange zest to the cinnamon sugar.

Step-by-Step Instructions (Easy, Fast, Addictive)

1. Prep & Preheat

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or 8x8-inch square pan.

2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar

  • In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.

3. Coat the Biscuits

  • Cut each biscuit into 4–6 pieces (quarters for large biscuits, sixths for smaller).
  • Dip each piece into melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
  • Place pieces snugly in the prepared pan (they’ll puff and merge as they bake).

4. Bake to Golden Perfection

  • Bake 18–22 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Optional: For extra crispness, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).

5. Add the Glaze (Highly Recommended!)

  • Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Drizzle over warm biscuit bites.
  • Let set 5 minutes before serving.

Serving & Storage Tips

  • Serve warm—they’re best fresh from the oven!
  • Pair with: coffee, hot chocolate, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • Store covered at room temp for 2 days, or reheat in oven/air fryer to restore crispness
  • Make ahead: Assemble unbaked bites, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Add 3–5 mins to bake time.

Creative Variations

  • Apple Cinnamon: Toss biscuit pieces with ½ cup sautéed apples + cinnamon before baking
  • Pecan Praline: Sprinkle chopped toasted pecans into the pan before adding biscuits
  • Savory Herb Version: Swap cinnamon sugar for garlic-herb butter + Parmesan (for dinner!)
  • Mini Bites: Use smaller biscuits for party appetizers or dessert skewers
