5. BAKE: Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly.

Tips For the Best Cinnamon Roll Bites
Cinnamon roll bites are just the right size for snacking or serving at a brunch gathering.
Plus, they’re so effortless to make that you can easily whip up a double batch to satisfy a crowd.
With that in mind, I only have a few tips:
- Best biscuits to use. Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits work well for this recipe, as they are flaky and buttery.
- Bake as directed. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the bites are golden brown and fully cooked. Avoid under-baking.
- Glaze variations. Try flavoring the glaze with lemon juice, orange juice, or almond extract. A cream cheese glaze is another delicious option.
- Serve warm. Cinnamon roll bites are best enjoyed fresh from the oven while still warm and gooey.
- Make ahead. Prepare the cinnamon roll bites the night before, cover and store them in the fridge. Bake them in the morning for a fresh breakfast treat.
How to Store
Like most biscuit and cinnamon roll recipes, you’ll want to devour these ASAP, while they’re still soft and tender.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you have to toss leftovers! You just have to store and reheat them the right way.
To Store: Place the cooled leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving for best results.
To Freeze: Transfer cold leftovers to a freezer bag and press out the air. Freeze for 2-3 months, then thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
To Reheat: Warm leftovers in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until warm. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a 350°Fahrenheit oven for 5-7 minutes.
Note: Cinnamon roll bites store and reheat best without the glaze.
