Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet to prevent the knots from sticking.
Prepare Dough: Separate the refrigerated buttermilk biscuits and cut each biscuit into three equal parts. Roll each part into a 3-inch long rope.
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.
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.
Add Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle the crushed cinnamon toast cereal generously over each knot to add a delightful texture and extra cinnamon flavor.
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.
