Cinnamon Breakfast Bites are a great recipe to get that sweet breakfast taste without indulging in Dunkin Donuts or any other breakfast option without as much sweetness and preservatives.
This recipe of cinnamon goodness has been compared to cinnamon roll bites or baked cinnamon rolls, but these cinnamon bites also remind me of another version of monkey bread minus the gooey sauce.
You could even describe them as french toast bites. Pretty much anything with that delicious cinnamon sugar mixture except in a bite form.
