For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Optional Vanilla Glaze:

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tbsp milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Tools You’ll Need

• Baking sheet
• Mixing bowls
• Pastry brush or spoon
• Knife or kitchen scissors
• Parchment paper or nonstick spray

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.

Step 2: Cut the Biscuits
Open the can of biscuits and separate them.
Cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife or clean kitchen scissors.
You should have 32 pieces total.

Step 3: Coat the Dough
Melt the butter in a small bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together.
Dip each biscuit piece in the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Step 4: Arrange & Bake
Place the coated pieces evenly on your prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 5: Optional Glaze
While the bites are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuit bites once they’re out of the oven or serve it as a dip on the side.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for the ultimate soft, gooey texture.

Tips for Perfect Biscuit Bites
Use Standard Biscuit Dough – Avoid flaky layers for best texture.
Add a Crunch – Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking.
Don’t Overcrowd – Give each bite space to bake evenly and get crisp edges.

Make Mini Monkey Bites – Bake in a muffin tin for single-serve monkey bread-style portions.

Serving Suggestions
Dip It – Serve with cream cheese frosting, chocolate sauce, or maple syrup.
Add a Side – Pair with fresh fruit or yogurt for a brunch plate.
Holiday Style – Add pumpkin spice to the mix in the fall or crushed peppermint in winter.
Sweet Board – Include these in a dessert board with brownies, cookies, and candy.
