Cinnamon Bites
If you haven’t had cinnamon bites before, you’re missing out! Think of them as a cross between a cinnamon bun and pull apart bread.
Whether you call them cinnamon bites, cinnamon roll bites, honeycomb bread, cinnamon bread bites, monkey bread, or pull apart cinnamon bread, there’s no denying that cinnamon-sugar dusted, chewy, fluffy, little balls of dough are delicious.
I love little pull apart squishy balls of chewy, fluffy cinnamon-sugar goodness. If you haven’t had cinnamon bites before, you’re missing out! Think of them as a cross between a cinnamon bun and pull apart bread. You pull them apart with your hands to get to gooey lil cloud-like pillows of sweetness. Cinnamon bites are a treat best enjoyed warm, with the ones you love.
