Cinnamon Roll Donut Bites

These donut bites are soft, fluffy, and coated in cinnamon and sugar. You won’t be able to stop at just one!
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 minute
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 can (12.4 ounces) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (I use the Pillsbury brand)
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet or deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove cinnamon rolls from container, set icing aside. Cut each roll into quarters.
  • Gently and carefully place 6 quarter rolls at a time into the oil and fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until really golden brown. ( You want to make sure they are fully cooked in the center ).
    Place cooked donut bites onto a paper towel-lined plate to soak up grease, then roll them into the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
  • Pour icing in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for only 8 to 10 seconds. Stir in the vanilla extract, and almond extract if using. Drizzle icing over the donuts then serve. Enjoy!
