Cinnamon Roll Bites
Ooey, gooey Cinnamon Roll Bites give you all the great taste of a cinnamon roll without all the work!
Don’t you love short-cuts? I sure do!
They are a tremendous help at times. Especially, when it comes to cinnamon rolls. 🙂
Of course, we are serious cinnamon rolls eaters.
But, as much as we love them, sometimes, we (my kids..OK, me too) want something cinnamon roll-y but, do not want to take too much time to make.
Enter these tasty little cinnamon roll bites. They are a delicious, little treat if you want something sweet for breakfast or even dessert.
Here is a breakdown:
- You start with a tube of refrigerator biscuits. Any brand will work, just keep note of the size of your package and type of biscuits. I usually use a 12 oz package of buttermilk biscuits. If you use a “flaky” biscuits of a different size package, they will still work, but, your ingredient may need to be adjusted.
- Cut the biscuits into 4 separate pieces. A pair of sharp kitchen scissors works great for this job.
- Toss the biscuit pieces with the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. You can do this in large bowl or use a large freezer bag. Both ways work fine.
- Add coated biscuit pieces to your pan. Use an 8 x 8 pan and don’t forget to grease it!
- After baking, let them cool about 5 minutes before adding the glaze.
- Be prepare to eat several of these. Of course, be careful..they are hot!
These Cinnamon Roll Bites take no time at all to make and will vanish quicker than a blink of an eye. Try them immediately and you will see!

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Agreed Camil! Glad you enjoyed them 🙂
These are so easy and delish! I have made them twice already. You have saved me a trip to the donut shop. I will be making with the kids next time. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Ha! So glad you liked them 🙂
Good but in my opinion there is way too much vanilla. I would cut it in half.
My family loves these!I make them about once a week! Thanks
Thanks Maria! So glad they are a hit!
Ridiculously easy and sooo good❤️
Agreed Tonya 😉
These are incredible. I had to make do with what ingredients I had in my house at the time of baking these. I did not have any milk so I subbed in Himalayan salted caramel coffee creamer and skipped the vanilla. Holy WOW!! It brought these to the next level!! I would highly recommend! We have made these three times now and are obsessed!
I ended up cutting the dough into smaller pieces and added a bit of nutella to the glaze. topped off with some fresh assortment of berries! oh La La. so gzood!
Sounds amazing Sara!
So good, and so simple! Will definitely be making these often
Thanks for letting me know Misty! So glad you liked them.
My grandsons, (and their dad), loved these. The 4 & 7 yr olds helped make them. I added maple flavoring to the glaze as it’s our favorite on cinnamon rolls. Thank you for sharing.
My 4 & 7 yr-old grandsons, (and their dad), loved these. The grands enjoyed helping make them. I added maple flavoring to the glaze, as that’s how we do cinnamon rolls. Thanks for sharing!
Yummy! And so easy!
Agreed Lori 🙂 Thank you!
Yummy and ooey and gooey and delish! Used MAPLE extract instead vanilla. Kiddos loved them
Great idea! So glad you liked them!
So amazing and yummy!! Also super easy for the kiddos to help !
I loved this recipe but next time I might omit the vanilla it just seems really strong. Also I sprinkled more of the cinnamon/ brown sugar over the bites before the oven and a little after. Not that healthy but AMAZING!
Ha! Great ideas Whitney..so glad you enjoyed them!
This was a very simple recipe. I loved that it took just a little bit of time to put it together. My husband thought it needed a little more cinnamon. I think I might like to try to add some white sugar next time. We also thought we might enjoy using frozen bread dough instead of packaged biscuits. I loved that it didn’t get hard and chewy after cooling like when you make it in a bundt pan as monkey bread.
The recipe I have calls for regular sugar. Yummmy!!!!!! Never tried with brown sugar. Probably wont either. These are so good
Also made with the cinnamon rolls. Extra good, I love cinnamon
Thanks Beverly! Glad they were a hit!
I might also try dipping the bread in butter before coating. This is a great recipe to build upon. I added maple syrup and maple extract to the icing it was good.
That’s what I did too! Coated the raw biscuit with butter first, and then the brown sugar/cinnamon coating. It just seemed like the dry raw dough wasn’t getting enough of that mixture on it, so the melted butter was first. Didn’t see the need for the “drizzling” after. And then, I had the “butter tastin” Pillsbury Grands biscuits, too….lol.
They puffed up beautifully, and tasted great.
Also works with cannabutter. Yummy!
I doubled the cinamon and butter and mixed all that together first. Then completely coated the biscuit pieces in that. Perfect — did not even need icing.
Yum..great idea Becky!
I am thinking of using frozen yeast rolls to make this recipe. I hope it turns out!
Great idea Cindy..let me know how it works out!
We LOVED IT! It was easy and delicious. My kids loved it.
Thank you thank you
So glad Yasha! Thanks for letting me know!
Has anyone tried prepping the biscuits in the pan the night before? Wondering if they will hold overnight or get too gooey.
Hi Liz- Sorry, I haven’t tried this yet, but, hopefully, someone has given a try and will respond. Let me know if you do the early prep and how it works out!
Once you open the can of biscuits and expose them to air, they should be baked immediately. If you open and refrigerate overnight, they will not rise properly.
Delicious, my family has already requested a repeat batch of these . So easy to make.
Thanks Sheri! So glad you liked them.
Has anyone tried putting it together nite before and baking in the morning
Eating these right now and they are amazing. So easy and quick to put together also. So glad the biscuits came in a two pack because they will be made again very soon.
So delicious!!!! I’ve made them twice now for me and my husband… one recipe with buttermilk biscuits and one with flaky biscuits… and if there’s any left over for a couple of days, the flaky biscuits tend to retain their lightness and fresh taste and are not as dense and hard as the buttermilk. They are both delish, however in the future I’m sticking with flaky biscuits.
hello, can you please post how you adjusted recipe using the flaky biscuits?
Absolutely the best way to use a can of biscuits!! I could have eaten the whole pan!!❤️
I actually made these and they were so good. Hosted neighborhood people and made them to go along with chili. Rave reviews! Thank you for sharing!
Glad they were a hit Beth! Thanks for the feedback 🙂
I made them. I immediately got a headache after eating them. They are much too sweet. Cut the sugar by 1/3.
Yummy ! I made these for my family and they were delicious! I used flaky biscuits and they came out beautifully. I will definitely be making these again! You could reduce the brown sugar if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
Curious if leftovers should be refrigerated?
Hi Ashley- We usually don’t have many leftovers of these 🙂 But, when we do, I stick them in the fridge.
What temperature do we preheat the oven to? 350? Also cook them for 20 minutes?
Hi Summer- yes, 350 at 20 minutes. Enjoy!
Sooooo good!
You might want to tweak the recipe ingredients to say 1 tbsp of IMITATION vanilla. I used real vanilla extract and it was soooo bitter tasting. I didn’t use the drizzle but I really didn’t have to!
YUM
Made these with crescent rolls! Delish.
These turned out very good! Easy to make and the family all like them! I like to mix white sugar and brown sugar to dip the biscuit pieces in. Thanks for the great recipe!
Fabulous and easy recipe, my husband can’t stop talking about these. Thanks for sharing!
These are great and so versatile. Easy to do when the grandkids visit. Imagine dessert: 3 warm cinnamon drops with a small scoop of French vanilla ice cream, drizzled with… Oh my. Wonderful.
Can these put together and frozen before baking?
