Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
Spices:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
Topping and Coating:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters / 57 grams) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar (for icing)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and thoroughly coat a baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Separate the biscuit dough into small, uniform bite-sized chunks, ensuring consistent sizing for even baking.
- Create a fragrant coating mixture by combining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Gently tumble each dough piece through the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage on all sides.
- Carefully transfer the cinnamon-crusted dough bites into the prepared baking dish, arranging them with slight spacing between pieces.
- Melt butter and evenly distribute it over the arranged dough pieces, allowing the liquid to seep between the bites.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and fully cooked interior.
- While baking, whisk powdered sugar with small amounts of water or milk, creating a smooth, pourable icing consistency.
- Remove the baked bites from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Drizzle the prepared icing generously over the warm cinnamon roll bites, allowing it to settle into the crevices and create an appealing glaze.
Notes
- Opt for homemade biscuit dough for a fresher, more authentic taste that elevates the entire dish.
- Roll dough pieces quickly and evenly to ensure consistent cinnamon coating and prevent clumping.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a deeper, more complex flavor profile.
- Use cream cheese frosting instead of simple icing for a richer, more decadent topping that complements the sweet bites.
