To prepare Cinnabon Gooey Bites, start by making the dough. Combine warm milk, yeast, egg, melted butter, sugar, and flour. Knead this mixture until smooth, then let it rise for about an hour. This helps the dough become soft and fluffy.
Next, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating. Mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Melt some butter and set it aside. This mixture gives the bites their sweet, spicy flavor.
Now, shape and coat the dough. Divide the dough into small balls. Dip each ball in melted butter and then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place the coated balls in a greased skillet or baking dish.
Bake the dough balls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. They should be cooked through, with the butter and sugar mixture bubbling nicely. This step ensures the bites are gooey and delicious.
Finally, make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle this over the warm cinnamon roll bites. These treats are best served warm, but you can store them in an airtight container for up to a day or freeze and reheat them when needed.
Enjoy your homemade Cinnabon Gooey Bites! They are a perfect sweet snack for any occasion.
