Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
Cinnamon Filling
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cinnamon roll bites.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until evenly blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted unsalted butter, and egg until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the dough forms a smooth batter without lumps.
- Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar, ensuring the spices are evenly incorporated.
- Roll Out Dough: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle shape suitable for rolling.
- Add Filling and Roll: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over the rolled dough. Carefully roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other to form a log.
- Cut into Bites: Slice the rolled dough into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform sizes for even baking. Place cut pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Icing: While baking, mix powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth to create a drizzle-able icing.
- Drizzle and Serve: Once the cinnamon roll bites are warm from the oven, drizzle the icing generously over them. Serve immediately to enjoy their soft texture and sweet flavors at their best.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is rolled evenly to get uniform cinnamon roll bites that bake evenly.
- Adjust milk quantity in the icing gradually to achieve the desired consistency for drizzling.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the oven to regain softness.
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt level in the dough.
