Notes
Serving Tips
- Serve Cinnamon Roll Bites warm for the best flavor and texture, as the glaze will be slightly melty and the biscuits soft.
- Pair them with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate for a cozy breakfast or snack.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
- Arrange them on a platter with toothpicks for an easy-to-grab party treat.
Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, warm in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes until soft and heated through.
- If freezing, allow the Cinnamon Roll Bites to cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
