Cinnamon Sugar Pizza Made with Biscuits

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s so quick and easy to make. It’s perfect when I’m craving something sweet but don’t want to make dough from scratch. Using refrigerated biscuit dough gives a soft, golden base, and the cinnamon-sugar combo tastes just like a warm cinnamon roll. It’s great for brunch, a sweet snack, or a last-minute dessert.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Refrigerated biscuit dough (like canned biscuits)

• Melted butter

• Granulated sugar

• Ground cinnamon

• Powdered sugar

• Milk

• Vanilla extract

directions

1. I preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

2. I open the biscuit can and flatten each one slightly to form small pizza-like rounds.

3. In a bowl, I mix together the sugar and cinnamon.

4. I brush each biscuit with melted butter, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

5. I bake them for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

6. While they bake, I make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

7. Once baked, I let the biscuit pizzas cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the top.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 8 mini dessert pizzas. I prepare everything in 10 minutes, bake for 15 minutes, and the total time to serve is under 30 minutes.

Variations

I like to swap white sugar for brown sugar for a deeper, caramel-like flavor. Chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts also add a nice crunch. For an extra-decadent version, I sometimes drizzle caramel sauce or melted chocolate instead of glaze.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days. To reheat, I warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes, or just microwave them for a few seconds until warm. The glaze may melt a little, but they’re still delicious.

FAQs

Can I use puff pastry instead of biscuit dough?

Yes, but the texture will be crispier instead of soft. I get a different result, but it’s still very tasty.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

I can prep the mini pizzas up to the baking step, cover, and refrigerate. I bake them fresh when it’s time to serve.

Can I use a different topping instead of glaze?

Absolutely. I’ve used sweetened cream cheese or even whipped cream as a topping, and both worked well.

Can I freeze these cinnamon sugar pizzas?

Yes, I freeze them after baking but before glazing. I reheat them and add the glaze just before serving.

Will this recipe work with homemade biscuit dough?

Yes, if I have time, homemade dough works great. I just make sure to roll it thin enough so it bakes evenly.

Conclusion

This cinnamon sugar biscuit pizza is a cozy, crowd-pleasing dessert I love making anytime I want something sweet fast. With its soft texture, warm cinnamon flavor, and sweet glaze, it turns simple ingredients into a comforting, bakery-style treat.
