Make soft, gooey cinnamon roll bites fast using refrigerated biscuit dough. This simple recipe skips yeast and delivers classic cinnamon roll flavor in minutes, perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll the biscuit dough. Do not separate the biscuits. Gently press the seams together to form one large rectangle of dough.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. This is your cinnamon sugar mixture.
  4. Brush the entire surface of the dough rectangle lightly with half of the melted butter.
  5. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Gently press the sugar into the dough.
  6. Starting from one long edge, roll the dough up tightly into a log.
  7. Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut the log into 1-inch thick slices. You should get about 10 to 12 slices.
  8. Arrange the cut pieces, cut-side up, in the prepared baking dish. They can touch slightly.
  9. Brush the tops of the bites with the remaining melted butter.
  10. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and cooked through.
  11. While the bites bake, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, a half teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  12. Remove the bites from the oven. Immediately drizzle the warm glaze over the hot cinnamon roll bites.
  13. Serve warm for the best gooey texture.

Notes

  • For extra gooey centers, pour 1/4 cup of heavy cream into the bottom of the pan before arranging the dough pieces.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, use less milk in the glaze mixture.
  • You can make these ahead of time; cover and store leftovers at room temperature for up to two days, reheating briefly before serving.
