Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup icing (from cinnamon roll can)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your cinnamon roll bites will bake evenly and come out perfectly golden brown.
- Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and carefully separate each roll. You should have a total of 12 individual rolls.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. This mixture will create a sweet, flavorful coating for your cinnamon roll bites.
- Take each cinnamon roll and cut it into quarters. This will help them cook faster and allow for more surface area to absorb the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the quartered cinnamon rolls and pour the cinnamon-sugar mixture over them. Gently toss the pieces to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Grease a baking dish or a cookie sheet with cooking spray or a little bit of melted butter to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer in the dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll bites are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the cinnamon roll bites cool for a few minutes. This will make them easier to handle and allow the flavors to meld.
- Drizzle the icing from the cinnamon roll can over the warm cinnamon roll bites. You can either use the icing as is or warm it slightly in the microwave for easier drizzling.
- Serve the Easy Cinnamon Roll Bites warm and enjoy! They make a perfect treat for breakfast or dessert.
Tips
- Use fresh, cold refrigerated cinnamon rolls straight from the can for the best texture and rise.
- Cut the rolls into uniform quarters to ensure even baking and consistent coating.
- Don't skip greasing your baking dish - this prevents sticking and helps create a crispy exterior.
- Watch the baking time carefully; golden brown is what you're aiming for, not dark brown.
- Warm the icing slightly in the microwave for about 10 seconds for easier drizzling.
- Serve these bites warm for the most gooey, delicious experience.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle some chopped nuts or add a dash of vanilla extract to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
