These crispy cinnamon biscuit bites are made with canned biscuit dough and cinnamon sugar for a perfectly sweet breakfast, after-school snack, or dessert. You’ll only need 4 ingredients to make these easy bites that taste just like cinnamon rolls. I guarantee everyone will devour them!

Cinnamon Roll Bites

I love how these Crispy Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites take just minutes to whip up but feel like a fun homemade treat. I start with store‑bought biscuit dough for convenience, toss the bite‑sized pieces in a brown sugar cinnamon mix, and pop them into the oven until they’re golden and crisp. The result is warm, gooey, cinnamon-kissed goodness in every bite—a perfect quick indulgence for breakfast, snack time, or dessert.

I either prepare a cream cheese frosting or a sweet icing for dipping and glazing, but anything works. You could even serve with chocolate or caramel sauce for a super indulgent treat.

Equipment

• Kitchen Scale (optional)
• Baking Sheet

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 20 ounces refrigerated canned biscuits 567 grams (1 tube)
• ▢ ½ cup salted butter 113 grams, melted (1 stick)
• ▢ 1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
• ▢ 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 18 grams

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Cut each biscuit into quarters and place them on the prepared baking sheet 1 inch apart.
  20 ounces refrigerated canned biscuits
• Bake 7-10 minutes, or just until cooked through (the biscuit bites should still be pale in color.)
• While biscuits are baking, melt butter in a small mixing bowl. In another small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
  ½ cup salted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• When the biscuits are ready, remove them from the oven and let cool until cool to touch, about 5 minutes. Leave the oven rack set to the middle position and turn the oven to broil.
• Dip each quarter biscuit in butter, then in the cinnamon sugar and return biscuit bite to baking sheet.
• Place biscuit bites under the broiler until cinnamon sugar has caramelized, approximately 1-2 minutes. The cinnamon sugar will burn quickly, so watch closely.
• Transfer biscuits to a cooling rack, cool 30 seconds then place biscuits on a serving plate and serve immediately.

Becky’s Tips

• To prepare in the air fryer, place the biscuit dough pieces in the fryer at 350°F, and cook for about 6-9 minutes. Keep an eye on them because the dough will cook slightly faster than the oven.
• You can use a can of cinnamon rolls instead of biscuit dough, but you will get slightly different results. The biscuit dough will get crispy and chewy, while the cinnamon roll dough will be more gooey and doughy. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.
• You want to bake the biscuit dough just until cooked. They should still be pale in color. But they shouldn’t look doughy, wet, or soft; that means they’re not done quite yet.

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites Step by Step

Get the oven going and prepare a baking sheet: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Prepare the biscuit dough: Cut each biscuit into quarters and place them on the prepared baking sheet 1 inch apart.

Bake the dough: Bake 7-10 minutes, or just until cooked through. (The biscuit bites should still be pale in color.)

Prepare the cinnamon sugar mix: While biscuits are baking, melt 1/2 cup of butter in a small mixing bowl. In another small bowl, mix 1 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon together.

Cool the biscuits: When the biscuits are ready, remove them from the oven and let cool until cool to the touch, about 5 minutes. Leave the oven rack set to the middle position and turn the oven to broil.

Dip the biscuits: Dip each quarter biscuit in butter, then in the cinnamon sugar, and return biscuit bite to the baking sheet.

Broil the biscuits: Place biscuit bites under the broiler until cinnamon sugar has caramelized, approximately 1-2 minutes. The cinnamon sugar will burn quickly, so watch closely.

Cool again and enjoy: Transfer biscuits to a cooling rack, cool 30 seconds, then place biscuits on a serving plate and serve immediately.

How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Bites

Store cinnamon sugar biscuit bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If you want to warm them up, pop them under the broiler, in the Air Fryer, or in the microwave.

For best results, wrap a handful of bites in aluminum foil, then place them all in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw them before eating or reheating.

Serving Suggestions

These sweet cinnamon roll bites are made to be served with a steaming cup of bulletproof coffee or a cold glass of oat milk. They also taste amazing with crispy breakfast potatoes to balance the sweetness. This combo makes a great breakfast or afternoon snack.

If you’re making these for a dessert, drizzle them with a sweet icing, serve with ice cream or your favorite sundae sauce.
