Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Roll Bites:
-
1 can refrigerated crescent or biscuit dough
-
3 tbsp melted butter
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Vanilla Glaze:
-
½ cup powdered sugar
-
1–2 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Mix Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. -
Cut & Coat
Open your dough and cut it into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch chunks). Dip each piece in melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated. -
Bake
Arrange the coated dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. -
Make the Glaze
While the bites bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, if needed for drizzling consistency. -
Drizzle & Serve
Let the cinnamon roll bites cool for about 2 minutes, then drizzle with glaze while still warm. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
-
Cold dough is key: It’s easier to cut and coat evenly.
-
Don’t overcrowd your pan: They’ll bake more evenly and get beautifully golden.
-
Add a pinch of salt to your cinnamon sugar if you like that sweet-salty bakery vibe.
-
For a fall twist, mix in a dash of nutmeg or apple pie spice with your cinnamon.
