Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Roll Bites:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter and softened
  • 6 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 packets instant rapid rise yeast
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon

Icing:

  • 12 ounces cream cheese and softened
  • 1/3 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • In a small pot, warm the milk and butter until it feels warm to the touch (about 110 degrees).
  • Put the yeast and milk in a stand mixer, whisk, and let it sit for 1 minute.
  • To the stand mixer, add flour, sugar, salt, and eggs. Mix on low speed for about 7-8 minutes with a dough hook.
  • Cover the bowl and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking pan.
  • In a bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar together.
  • Take the dough, roll it into 1" balls, and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar mix and put them in the pan.
  • Let it sit for around 20 minutes in a warm spot.
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
  • While baking, combine the icing ingredients in a pot and whisk over medium-low heat until mixed well.
  • When the bites are out of the oven, drizzle them with the icing.

If You Want To Use Air Fryer

  • Make the dough as per the original recipe, including covering it in cinnamon sugar and letting it rest for 20 minutes.
  • After the dough has rested, heat your Air Fryer to 330 degrees.
  • Put parchment paper in the Air Fryer basket to prevent sticking. Make sure there's space between the dough balls for air circulation. You might have to cook them in batches based on your Air Fryer's size.
  • Place the sugar-coated dough balls in the lined Air Fryer basket without them touching.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and cooked inside.
  • While the bites are cooking, make the cream cheese icing following the original recipe.
  • Take out the cooked bites, let them cool a bit on a wire rack.
  • Drizzle the bites with the cream cheese icing and serve while warm

Notes

Storage Instructions:

Serve: Enjoy these Cinnamon Roll Bites within 2-3 days at room temperature by keeping them in an airtight container. If you plan to make them ahead, store them before adding the glaze to prevent sogginess.
Store: Allow the bites to cool, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For the best results, store the icing and cinnamon bites separately. Reheat them and add the icing when you're ready to serve.
Freeze: To prepare Mini Cinnamon Roll Bites in advance, freeze them before adding the glaze. First, freeze the baked and cooled bites on a tray, and then transfer them to a sealed container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw them to room temperature before reheating and applying the glaze.
