From our kitchen to yours.

I’m a biscuit lover. I often turn to savory biscuits like spinach cheese stuffed biscuits, biscuit breakfast bake, cheddar biscuits, or sourdough discard biscuits.

A few weeks ago I make Hawaiian roll cinnamon rolls, and this new idea for cinnamon roll biscuits popped into my mind the next day. I tried them as soon as I had the chance.

Imagine flaky biscuits layered with cinnamon sugar butter, baked in an 8×8″ cake pan and then drizzled with a simple icing. It’s everything you love about a gooey cinnamon roll with a fraction of the work.

If you’ve tried our cinnamon roll bites, you’ll enjoy these. Those bites have yeast dough, but these are much quicker. The biscuit cinnamon rolls are perfect with a cup of coffee. Or serve them for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy! -Julie

ingredients in cinnamon roll biscuit bake on a table

Refrigerated biscuits. Biscuits labeled “flaky” work best because they easily tear apart, but buttermilk biscuit dough is delicious too. The tube should be about 16.3 ounces.
Brown sugar. Just like with my other cinnamon buns, brown sugar is necessary! It gives that classic cinnamon roll flavor and creates the caramel like sauce.
Salted butter. I always use salted butter. If you only have unsalted, add ¼ teaspoon salt to the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Assemble. Spread each of the biscuits with the cinnamon butter, using all of the butter mixture. Place half of the biscuit pieces on the bottom of the prepared pan. I did a row of 3, a row of 2, then a row of 3. You can slightly stretch the two in the middle to be more in the shape of a rectangle or oval if desired. Then place the second half in a layer on top of the first layer.
