Ingredients
Scale
1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
Open the can of biscuit dough. Separate the biscuits and place them on a clean surface. Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together well. This is your cinnamon sugar coating.
Roll each small piece of dough in the melted butter until fully coated.
Next, roll the buttered dough pieces thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are completely covered.
Arrange the coated dough pieces close together in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through.
While the bites bake, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cinnamon roll bites immediately.
Let the bites cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.
Notes
For extra gooey centers, pour 1/4 cup of heavy cream over the bites before baking.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk used in the glaze mixture.
You can use store-bought cinnamon roll icing instead of making your own glaze for an even quicker option.
