(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into quarters (or smaller pieces if you prefer bite-sized pieces).
Melt the Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Mix the Cinnamon-Sugar: In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Coat the Biscuit Pieces: Dip each biscuit piece into the melted butter, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Then roll the buttered pieces in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully covered.
Bake the Biscuit Bites: Place the coated biscuit pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they’re not overcrowded. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm!

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of biscuit dough?

Yes, you can use other types of refrigerated dough like crescent rolls or scone dough, but the texture and flavor will vary slightly.

2. Can I make these ahead of time?

These are best served fresh, but you can prepare the biscuit pieces and coat them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to a day. Bake them just before serving.

3. Can I make these without butter?

Butter gives the biscuits a rich flavor, but you can use oil as a substitute if necessary. It may change the texture slightly, but they’ll still be delicious.

4. How can I make these healthier?

To make these a little lighter, you can use a sugar substitute, like stevia or monk fruit sweetener, and opt for reduced-fat butter or a butter alternative.

5. Can I freeze these?

Yes, you can freeze the biscuit bites before baking. Just place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually and then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen for 12-15 minutes when ready to eat.

6. How can I make these more indulgent?

For an even richer treat, drizzle with a glaze made of powdered sugar and milk after baking.

7. Can I use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar?

Yes, brown sugar will give the biscuit bites a deeper, caramel-like flavor. It will add a bit more moisture to the coating as well.

8. Can I add fruit to these?

Yes! You can add fresh fruit like chopped apples or berries inside the biscuit dough for a fruity twist.

9. How do I know when they’re done?

The biscuit bites are done when they are golden brown and puffed up. A toothpick inserted into one should come out clean.

10. Can I use powdered cinnamon instead of ground cinnamon?

Ground cinnamon works best in this recipe, but if you only have powdered cinnamon, it will still provide the same flavor.
