This Easy Cinnamon Roll Bites recipe is a great way to turn a tube of refrigerated biscuits into an amazing breakfast. The bites are coated in cinnamon and brown sugar and baked until golden. A sweet glaze drizzled over them is the finishing touch. And the best part. 🙂
These Biscuit Cinnamon Roll Bites are very difficult to stop eating. They’re best warm from the oven when their gooeyness is at its peak. They are like Monkey Bread except they are spread out more so there are tons more cranies for the glaze to seep down into.
Ingredients Needed for Cinnamon Roll Bites
- 16-ounce Tube Refrigerated Grands Biscuits
- Butter
- Light Brown Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Milk
How To Make Biscuit Cinnamon Roll Bites with Canned Biscuits
(More detailed instructions below in recipe box.)
- You’ll start with a tube of refrigerated biscuit dough. I typically use Pillsbury Grands, either homestyle or southen-style.
- Cut each biscuit in fourths and dip in melted butter.
- Then roll them in a mixture of cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Place them in a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake them for 18 to 22 minutes.
- To make a glaze, whisk together 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and enough milk to make it a good consistency for drizzling.
Tips For Making
- You can assemble the bites the night before. Just be sure to wrap them well with plastic wrap so they don’t dry out. Refrigerate them overnight.
- They are best eaten right away, but can be reheated the next day for an almost as good breakfast.

So excited to do some fun experimenting with these bites! An extra roll of biscuits is saving me today though, because normally, I actually start with store bought cinnamon rolls instead of biscuits! First, I convection bake them (cookie sheet, sides not touching) for half the time directed. Next, I transfer to my favorite milk glass pyrex pie pan (Yes, sides touching now lol). Next, cover with my filling mixture (return to oven for remaining time left) which melts over, bubbles between, and fills every crevice and crack around coating each biscuit. Then, remove from heat to cool 5-10mins. Now i pour melted but not hot icing over top and another 5-10 min of rest will set icing as it cools. Rumor around town its supposedly better then Cinnabon. This time the rumor is true.
