💡 No convection setting? You're all set — this recipe uses the regular Bake setting, so any toaster oven can make it, with or without a convection button.
How to Know It's Ready
The bites are golden brown and slightly puffed.
Troubleshooting
- If the bites are browning too quickly, reduce the temperature to 350°F and extend the baking time by a few minutes.
- Ensure the bites are evenly spaced to prevent them from sticking together during baking.
- If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon of maple syrup to thin it out.
- Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the toaster oven at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to refresh.
Variations
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze for a warm spice flavor.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the glaze for added crunch.
- Use honey instead of maple syrup for a different sweet profile.
FAQ
Can I use homemade biscuit dough?
Yes, homemade biscuit dough will work. Just ensure it's cut into small pieces and adjust baking time if needed.
How do I prevent the glaze from becoming too runny?
Make sure to measure the powdered sugar accurately and whisk until smooth. If it's too runny, add more powdered sugar.
Can I make these in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the bites and glaze separately. Store them and assemble just before serving.
What if my toaster oven has a convection setting?
You can use the convection setting, but reduce the temperature to 350°F and check for doneness a few minutes earlier.
Can I freeze these biscuit bites?
