Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread Bites
Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread Bites are small pieces of biscuit dough coated in cinnamon sugar, baked into bite-sized golden balls and finished with a sweet vanilla glaze. The result is a pull-apart style treat with a soft, buttery interior and crisp, cinnamon-spiced exterior. They work well for sharing or casual snacking.
Ingredients
- 16.3 oz can Biscuits I use Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle variety, refrigerated
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar whisked or sifted to remove lumps
- 2 Tbsp milk whole
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9" pie pan. Set aside.
- Melt butter, stir in salt, and set aside to cool slightly.
- While butter is cooling, combine cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl and stir well to combine.
Prepare biscuits
- Remove biscuits from the can, and slice each biscuit into 4 equally sized pieces.
- Roll the biscuit pieces into balls.
Dip and roll
- Dip a ball of dough into the melted butter, then add to the bowl with the cinnamon sugar and roll to coat.
- Transfer to prepared pie pan, then repeat with remaining balls of dough.
Bake
- Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven for 20-23 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown.
Make glaze
- While the monkey bread is baking, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Glaze monkey bread
- When the monkey bread bites are finished baking, remove from the oven and drizzle with about half of the glaze (reserving the other half of the glaze for dipping).
Serve
- Serve warm for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe yields about six servings but can be divided into any number of portions as needed.
- You may use salted butter instead of unsalted; simply omit the kosher salt in the recipe if doing so.
