Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can Grand’s Original Biscuits
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray 10 wells of a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Biscuits: Open the can of Grand’s Original Biscuits and cut each biscuit into 12 small pieces for easy layering and coating.
  3. Coat Biscuit Pieces: In a medium bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Toss each biscuit piece in this mixture until fully coated. Alternatively, place the cinnamon sugar and biscuit pieces into a zip-top bag and shake to coat evenly.
  4. Fill Muffin Wells: Place 9 pieces of the coated biscuit mixture into each of the 10 muffin wells, distributing them evenly.
  5. Make Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and whisk continuously until the mixture just begins to boil, creating a smooth caramel sauce. Avoid overcooking to prevent burning.
  6. Drizzle Sauce on Muffins: Remove saucepan from heat and carefully drizzle the warm caramel sauce evenly over each muffin well, ensuring coverage over all biscuit pieces.
  7. Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  8. Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then carefully remove them onto a cooling rack set over parchment paper to catch any drips.
  9. Prepare Glaze: Combine 1/4 cup powdered sugar with 2 teaspoons milk in a small measuring cup and stir until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the Glaze: Drizzle the prepared powdered sugar glaze over each muffin. Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, gooey treat!

Notes

  • For easier coating, using a zip-top bag to shake biscuits with cinnamon sugar is recommended.
  • Do not overcook the caramel sauce to avoid bitterness; just bring it to a gentle boil.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey, soft texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat briefly before serving.
  • Use a silicone or non-stick muffin pan to ease muffin removal.
