Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites

Cinnamon sugar biscuit bites bring me right back to cozy afternoons when I’d crave a sweet treat that didn’t take all day to make and filled the house with the warmest, most comforting aroma. One rainy day, I had a tube of biscuit dough and a sudden burst of inspiration, so I decided to transform those biscuits into little bite-sized pieces of joy coated in cinnamon sugar and when I took the first bite, I was instantly hooked and knew this would become my new favorite quick treat.

Since then, I’ve loved making these biscuit bites whenever I want something fun and shareable that feels homemade and special without much fuss and they always disappear in minutes whether I’m serving them at brunch, bringing them to a potluck, or just enjoying them with a cup of coffee in the afternoon. There’s something about that sweet, slightly crunchy coating and the fluffy inside that makes them absolutely irresistible and I can’t wait for you to try them too!

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Refrigerated biscuit dough – The quick and easy base for these bites, super fluffy inside.
• Butter – Helps the cinnamon sugar stick and adds rich flavor.
• Granulated sugar – Gives sweetness and creates that classic crunchy coating.
• Ground cinnamon – Adds warmth and that comforting bakery flavor.
• Vanilla extract – Gives a little extra depth and sweetness to the butter coating.

Tools You’ll Need

• Baking sheet – To bake all the little bites evenly and get them golden.
• Mixing bowl – For tossing the bites in the cinnamon sugar.
• Knife – To cut the biscuit dough into small pieces.
• Pastry brush – For coating the bites with melted butter.
• Oven – To bake everything to golden perfection.
• Cooling rack – Helps keep the coating crisp while they cool.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and prepare

I preheat my oven to 350°F so it’s ready when I am. Then, I line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Cut the biscuit dough

I open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters (or smaller if I want extra mini bites). I space them out on the prepared baking sheet so they have room to puff up.

Step 3: Bake the bites

I bake the biscuit pieces for about 12 to 15 minutes or until they’re golden and cooked through. I always keep an eye on them so they don’t overbake.

Step 4: Prepare the coating

While the biscuits bake, I melt the butter and stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, I mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

Step 5: Coat the bites

Once the bites come out of the oven, I let them cool slightly so they’re easier to handle. Then, I brush them generously with the vanilla butter and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy

I pile them up on a plate or serve them warm in a bowl. They’re so fun to eat by hand and are perfect for sharing!

Tips

If you want to add a little twist, I sometimes mix in a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar for an extra warm spice flavor. You can also drizzle them with a simple glaze (just powdered sugar and milk) for a sweet finishing touch. And if you like them extra buttery, dip them fully in melted butter instead of just brushing!

Ways to Serve

I love serving these cinnamon sugar biscuit bites warm with a side of vanilla or cream cheese dip. They’re also perfect as part of a brunch spread, on a dessert board, or just as a fun snack with coffee or hot cocoa. You can even pack them up in a cute bag to give as a sweet homemade gift!
