These Cinnamon Bites make the dreamiest breakfast or dessert. Easily made with premade canned biscuit dough that’s coated in butter, sugar, and cinnamon. These fluffy bites make the sweetest treat that resembles both a donut and churro.

Not only is this recipe made with only 4 ingredients (that you probably already have), they take less than 20 minutes to make from start to finish. You’ll be whipping up these fresh-baked treats every weekend once you try them…you’ll be hooked!

Serve these Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites whenever you’re craving something sweet and easy to make. Enjoy these bites with a hot cup of coffee or tea and your day will be set.

INGREDIENTS

Canned biscuits: I use original plain biscuits, some of my favorites to use are buttermilk or Grand’s biscuits. You can also use plain pizza dough instead of canned biscuits.

Butter: unsalted butter is best since the biscuits have salt in them already. 

Cinnamon: the star ingredient. If you really love cinnamon, feel free to add a few dashes more. 

Sugar: granulated sugar will add sweetness.

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON BITES

MELT BUTTER AND MIX SUGAR. Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave to melt for 15-30 seconds. In a medium bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar until combined.
 
COAT BISCUITS. Cut each biscuit into fourths. Lightly coat each biscuit in the butter mixture, then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
 
BAKE. Place each biscuit bite on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake for 7-10 minutes or just until the biscuits are completely cooked through and golden brown. Let the Cinnamon Bites cool for a few minutes, then enjoy!

The cinnamon sugar mixture that coats these biscuits give each bite the perfect crunch and the centers are pillowy soft and fluffy. Just like a donut, except these take only a fraction of the time to make!

Desserts that are bite-size are always my favorite! How could you not love a treat that’s so mini and only takes a few bites to devour? Some of my other bite-sized favorite treats are my Mini Cheesecake Bites, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites, and Mini Cannoli Bites.

RECIPE TIPS AND VARIATIONS

Turn these Cinnamon Bites into Cinnamon Roll Bites by serving these with cream cheese frosting or drizzle frosting on top!

If you love chocolate, replace the ground cinnamon with cocoa powder.

Any type of canned biscuit dough will work with this recipe. You can also use plain pizza dough if you prefer, just make sure to cut them into bite sizes, about 1 1/2 inch squares.

Make this the ultimate dessert by topping these bites with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream or swirl of whipped cream!

LEFTOVERS

These Cinnamon Bites are always best when they are fresh out of the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container or tightly seal dish with plastic wrap. 

Store at room temperature in a cool area for up to 2-3 days. 

To reheat, simply bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes or microwave for a few seconds.

    These biscuit bites are so fun to eat! We loved them mid-afternoon with a cup of tea and my son basically devoured them all day! It’s a good thing they’re so easy to make because I’ve already gotten requests for a new batch
