Let’s Dip!
For a sweet breakfast or anytime snack, these Cinnamon Roll Bites are coated in cinnamon sugar and ready to be dipped in sweet icing or enjoyed all on their own. They’re irresistible and I bet you won’t be able to eat just one.
Creating breakfast treats from store-bought canned cinnamon rolls can be so much fun. Whether it’s a fun holiday cinnamon roll, or savory sweet cinnamon roll pigs in a blanket, or piping hot cinnamon roll waffles, there’s always something yummy to be made! These bite-sized beauties are such a fun addition!
Small Bites are Big Fun
We love serving and eating bite-sized foods (if you couldn’t tell from my Brilliant Bites cookbook!). From breakfast to dinner to snacks and desserts, there’s so much enjoyment in little bites. These Cinnamon Roll Bites are tossed in buttery cinnamon sugar, so each bite is full of cinnamon flavor. They may be small, but they’re big on taste!
Ingredients and Supplies
(see recipe card at the bottom of this post for measurements and details)
Ingredients:
- Refrigerated canned cinnamon rolls with original icing – the smaller sized canned cinnamon rolls work best for this recipe. You don’t want to use the jumbo cinnamon rolls that unravel or they won’t hold together while baking.
- Butter
- Granulated sugar
- Ground cinnamon
Supplies:
- Baking sheet
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Small bowl
- Large bowl or resealable plastic bag
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Bites
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Open cinnamon roll cans and separate them. Reserve the icing to serve with the bites.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into four pieces. Roll each piece into a ball with the palm of your hands and place an inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the bites are golden brown, about 15-18 minutes.
- While the bites are baking, whisk the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Remove the cinnamon roll bites from the oven and allow them to cool for five minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter.
- Place the bites in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the melted butter over the bites and toss to coat. Add the cinnamon sugar and toss again until each bite is evenly coated.
- Add the cinnamon sugar.
- Toss again until each bite is evenly coated.
- Serve with reserved icing for dipping.
Storage
Cinnamon Roll Bites are best served the day you bake them. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a day. Leftover cinnamon roll bites can be enjoyed at room temperature or reheated.
Reheat in a 300°F oven for about 5 minutes or until slightly crisped on the outside and heated through or microwave for 10-15 seconds until soft and warm throughout.
