Cinnamon Roll Bites
Love the gooey center of a cinnamon roll, but don't have time to bake from scratch? This shortcut recipe uses store-bought dough to create warm, buttery cinnamon roll bites in under an hour.
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans Pillsbury cinnamon rolls
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Nonstick spray
Brown sugar filling
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ stick of butter melted
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting drizzle
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 equal sized pieces. Roll into balls, pinching the sides to seal. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add 3 tablespoons melted butter, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the dough balls into the melted butter mixture, tossing until well coated.
- Place in a single layer in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Make the brown sugar filling by mixing all ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle evenly over the dough balls.
- Slowly pour the heavy cream in between the rows of dough. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to cook until baked through.
- In a medium bowl, mix together all the frosting ingredients, whisking until smooth and no clumps of powdered sugar remain. Drizzle over the cinnamon rolls. Serve warm.
Notes
If the tops of the cinnamon rolls brown too quickly before the center is cooked through, place the foil back on top.
