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.

OMG, one of the best recipes I have tried. I made a double batch of cinnamon and brown sugar with extra cinnamon(one teaspoon more). Next time I might reduce the brown sugar. Putting the mix in the microwave made it much easier to coat the biscuit drops. For the topping I had some vanilla cake frosting in a cup. So I microwaved it for about 10 seconds, which made it runny. I saturated the bites after they came out to the oven. It reminded me of a cinnamon bun, store front in the mall, these are that good!
I usually go through the trouble of making my dough, rising it, rolling it, and all that fuss. I found this recipe, and sure glad I did. My son loved this. I made a few small changes. The glaze was too running so I added more powdered sugar. Next time I’ll just cut the liquid. Baked for 20 minutes in a 9 x 13. I don’t know anyone who owns a 7×11 pan. I rolled up tin foil to make it 9×11. My son loved it, and asked me to save the left overs.
This is a family favorite. Easy to make and so delicious
Loved this quick yummy recipe! I’ll add nuts for my family but this is a keeper!! Great for large gatherings too!
So simple to make and so yummy!
I was craving some cinnamon rolls this morning for a Sunday morning breakfast and did not have time to make them from scratch. I found your recipe, made it, and everyone thought it was delicious! Will definitely make again!
I made this recipe for my great grand girls on a Saturday morning and there was not one drop left. This will be a staple for breakfast whenever they come for a visit.
My grandson loved these. I made the glaze and drizzled some over the bites before I baked them. Then put more glaze over them when I served them. I will make these again and again! Yummy!
This recipe is exactly what I was looking for and it turned out perfectly!! Thanks so much for sharing. I plan to try both ideas suggested by other reviewers as well. This one’s a keeper
Thank you for this recipe …everyone loved them!! Also good….I chopped up an apple in small bits and zapped them in the microwave for a couple of minutes, sprinkled a little brown sugar on them and put them on the rolls before cooking…mmmmmyum!
I’m late to the party but had an unused can of biscuits and insomnia so made this as a surprise breakfast for my husband and son. The recipe turned out beautifully! Instead of drizzling with the icing, I served as a dipper alongside the bites 🙂
Thank you for sharing this easy and yummy recipe.
OOh…..that’s a great idea!!
I have been doing this for years. Another idea is to put the dipped bites in muffin cups add chopped pecans sprinkled over each muffin. Bake about 10 -12 minutes and glaze as directed. Sort of a bear claw muffin. I love cinnamon and pecans.
That’s such a great idea Diana. Thanks for sharing!
