Cinnamon Roll Donut Bites

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!
