Description

Cinnamon Crunch Knots are a delightful treat made from soft buttermilk biscuit dough rolled in cinnamon sugar, tied into knots, and topped with crunchy crushed cinnamon toast cereal. These warm and sweet knots are perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack, delivering a satisfying combination of tender dough and a crispy, cinnamon-flavored crunch.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tube (16.3 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup crushed cinnamon toast cereal


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet to prevent the knots from sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Separate the refrigerated buttermilk biscuits and cut each biscuit into three equal parts. Roll each part into a 3-inch long rope.
  3. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar with ground cinnamon. Dip each dough rope into the melted butter, ensuring it is evenly coated, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a flavorful crust.
  4. Tie the Knots: Tie each coated rope into a knot, forming the classic cinnamon knot shape. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each.
  5. Add Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle the crushed cinnamon toast cereal generously over each knot to add a delightful texture and extra cinnamon flavor.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Notes

  • You can substitute cinnamon toast cereal with crushed cinnamon graham crackers for a different crunch.
  • Make sure to space the knots adequately on the baking sheet to allow even baking.
  • For a richer flavor, try brushing the finished knots with additional melted butter right after baking.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
