Ingredients
Scale
1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Open the can of biscuits and separate the 10 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces. You should have 40 small pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. This is your cinnamon sugar coating.
Roll each small piece of dough in the melted butter until coated. Then, roll the buttered dough piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully covered.
Place the coated dough pieces close together in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through.
While the bites bake, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
Remove the baked bites from the oven. Drizzle the warm glaze evenly over the hot cinnamon roll bites.
Serve warm for the best gooey texture.
Notes
If you want extra gooey centers, pour 1/4 cup of heavy cream over the bites before baking.
For a quick dessert, use store-bought cream cheese icing instead of making the simple glaze.
