These sweet and cheesy mini biscuits are hard to stop popping in your mouth! They taste almost just like Jim N Nicks Cheesy Biscuits and they are so easy to make!
We have a Jim N Nicks BBQ Restaurant near our house and I love to go there for a meal as often as possible. I love basically everything I’ve tried- the mammoth onion rings, the pulled pork and mac and cheese. But I especially love the complimentary mini muffins they bring to the table. We always get seconds, sometimes thirds.
I have a hard time not filling up on them before my meal comes. They are really cheesy and sweet, almost like a dessert.
This is a really simple recipe and they come really close to the real thing. You will need a mini muffin pan.
You could make them larger, but I love them bite-sized.
They’re made from super simple ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and soda, buttermilk, butter and cheese. Plus a little vanilla extract.
It’s the vanilla extract that gives them that somethin somethin.
Cheesy Biscuits go well with any meal but they also make a fantastic snack all on their own. Watch them disappear in a flash!

A huge hit for the whole family! The kids wouldn’t stop eating them. My husband decided to eat his with maple syrup and some crumbled bacon, and raved and raved. We’ll be adding this recipe to the family favourites!
Fantastic! I made them exactly as written and they are so good! So good, in fact, that I am going to make a triple batch to take to a pot luck Christmas Eve dinner!
These are the BEST muffins EVER !! Just like the ones at Jim and Nicks has at their restaurant. My family loves them.
Can I make this in a 12 count cupcake tin? If so, do I need to adjust the temp and/or time?
This recipe is excellent!!! I made it in the 12 cup tin and 12 was not enough. I had to make more the very next day. We devoured these like it was the oxygen we needed to breathe. I kept the temp the same, but baked it about 12-14 minutes. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. God bless you.
How do you reheat/refresh these for serving if you baked them the previous day?
Thanks,
Good recipe. However do not melt the butter. Cut butter sticks in to little cubes and then cut the butter into the dry mix by hand. That’s the way the directions say on the back of the Jim and Nick’s cheese biscuit pouch you can buy in the store or online. JNN sells the dry mix and all you add is butter and buttermilk. The whipped Honey Butter they serve with the cheese biscuit’s is yummy too.
These taste EXACTLY like the ones at the restaurant, if not better. Highly recommend thus recipe to anyone.
Y’all these are ahhh-mazing – and a super easy recipe to multiply . I make these all the time and in such large batches I had to invest in the 48 cup mini muffin pan.
Don’t let that dab of vanilla scare you off… it’s that “little something extra” that makes these muffins work!!
****ALSO… I have made them Gluten Free as well***
My son loved these but I thought they were denser than JNN – any suggestions on what I might have done wrong?
Laura. Try sifting your flour, then measuring it before adding it back to the sifter with the remainder of the dry ingredients. Don’t over beat. Just until lightly mixed. This should help make it lighter. Hope this helps.
Delicious and so easy!!!
