4-ingredient Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites bring warm, cozy flavors to your table. They're soft, moist, and totally scrumptious! Whip up these tasty cinnamon treats quickly and easily for breakfast or snacking. You can make them in your air fryer or oven—both methods work great.
I threw these together for a family brunch last Sunday, and everyone kept grabbing "one more piece." My kitchen smelled amazing as cinnamon wafted through the air, making our cold morning feel extra warm and inviting.
Key Ingredients and Smart Shopping Advice
- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: Any type works fine, but go for the bigger "Grands" size for chunkier bites
- Ground Cinnamon: Don't use old spices—fresh cinnamon makes all the difference
- Salted Butter: Creates the perfect taste balance
- Sugar: Plain granulated sugar works best for coating
Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
- Mix Your Coating: Combine 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a shallow dish. Stir well so the flavors blend evenly.
- Prep Your Dough: Take the refrigerated biscuits out and split them apart. Cut each one into four equal chunks for perfect bite-sized morsels.
- Get Ready to Cook: Spray the pieces with cooking spray or brush with a little melted butter. Space them out in your air fryer basket or on your baking tray.
- Pick Your Method: Air fryer users: Cook at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, giving them a shake halfway. Oven users: Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until they turn golden.
- Get Butter Ready: While they're cooking, melt 1/2 cup of butter in a microwave-safe container.
- Add Butter Layer: After cooking, dunk each piece into your melted butter, making sure they're fully covered.
- Add Sweet Coating: Right away, roll your buttery bites in the cinnamon sugar mix. For less mess, put the sugar mix in a plastic bag, add the bites, and gently toss.
- Enjoy Hot: Put them on a plate and eat while they're still warm for the tastiest results.
- Extra Touch: If you want them even sweeter, add some cream cheese glaze or serve with vanilla sauce for dipping.
- Pretty Plating: Serve in a paper-lined basket to keep them warm longer and make them look extra appealing.

Heartwarming Comfort With Each Mouthful
The mix of cinnamon and sugar always takes me back to my grandma's kitchen. She used to make similar treats with leftover dough, showing me how simple stuff could create special memories. These bites carry that same feeling, creating new family favorites while honoring old traditions.
Quick Treats For Surprise Visitors
These biscuit bites are my go-to when friends drop by without warning. While the coffee brews, I can make a batch in no time, making guests feel welcome. The homey smell fills the house with warmth, and everyone thinks I spent ages baking from the heart.
Adaptable For Any Time Of Year
I love changing this recipe as seasons come and go. Fall calls for apple pie spice added to the cinnamon. Winter needs nutmeg and a hint of clove. In spring, I mix in some lemon zest, and summer means serving them with fresh berries and whipped cream on top.
