Here is a Quick & Easy Cinnamon Roll Bites Recipe that is perfect for breakfasts, snacks or even on Christmas mornings.  It satisfies your cravings for a sweet treat for breakfast.

Tips and Procedures:

  • The quickest way to soften a frozen or chilled butter is to pop it in a microwave. What I do is place it for 30 to 45 seconds and then it’s ready to use!
  • Sift, sift, sift! This step is important to do when using powdered sugar for glazes! It makes mixing a lot easier and your glaze smoother.
  • Make the glaze ahead. It should be poured onto the cinnamon dough bites right after taking it out from the oven.
  • After pouring the glaze, you can sprinkle a good amount of brown sugar for an added “crusty” top.

How to Make this Quick & Easy Cinnamon Roll Bites Recipe:

Ingredients you will need:

  • refrigerated biscuits
  • butter
  • sugar
  • cinnamon

Glaze

  • butter
  • milk
  • pure vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar

Before starting, don’t forget to preheat oven to 350F and grease 8×8 inch pan. Doing this step always before mixing the ingredients would save you tons of time and would make baking more enjoyable 🙂

Let’s begin!

Cut the dough into 4 and then set aside when finished:

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: I will be hosting a party. Can I assemble the cookie dough ahead?

A: For sure, it would work perfectly fine. Just cover it with saran wrap and chill until you are ready to bake them. Do not pour the melted butter yet after assembling the cookie dough. Pour it when you are about to bake them.

Q: Can I use salted butter for this recipe?

A: For this recipe, you should use unsalted butter. The salted butter would affect the taste and would make your cinnamon roll bites salty, even with the sweet glaze on top.

Q: I love vanilla so much. Can I double the quantity for this recipe?

A: Yes you can. Maybe just adding 1 teaspoon more of the vanilla extract won’t hurt.

      This will blow your body out of ketosis. You might want to look into something else.

    Why is milk listed on the recipe if it’s not used to make anything? 🙂
