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!

I love these been making for 4 years or more very good recipe
Great tasting cheese muffins! They were easy to put together and didn’t take long to cook.
Just made these. Very good and easy. Will definitely make them again. I did make regular size muffins. Time is 16 minutes at 400 in case anyone else wants regular size muffins.
It was amazing! I added some cornmeal to add a little more flavor and texture and it turned out great! Personally was a little sweeter than I remember so I added some Cajun spices and it paired nicely!
Excellent, every time I make these for parties I get tons of compliments, and they are very addicting. Great copycat recipe
How many mini muffins does this make?
About 30
For my gluten-intolerant friends, I replaced the flour with Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 flour and they came out great! My husband and I used to live around the corner from a Jim n Nicks and we’d binge on these from time to time so we’re very familiar with the taste and texture. These are spot on, even with my flour substitution.
