Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt or milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for rolling)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper cups.
- Whisk together the sourdough discard, yogurt, egg, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gradually until just combined into a soft, scoopable dough.
- Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl for the filling.
- Scoop out the dough into 1.5 tbsp balls. Roll each ball in melted butter, then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place the coated dough balls into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and puffed.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze while the bites bake.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon roll bites after they come out of the oven.
