Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin pan with non-stick spray or 8 cupcake liners.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Separate the biscuits and cut each one into 8 equal pieces. Toss the pieces into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place 8 of them into each muffin well or cupcake liner.
1/4 cup white sugar, 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 can Grands buttermilk flaky biscuits
Place a small saucepan on the stove and melt the butter, then add the brown sugar and water. Mix until everything is all melted and combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
1/4 cup unsalted butter, 2/3 cup light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons water, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pour a heaping tablespoon of the brown sugar and butter mixture over each of the muffins.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. Allow the muffins to cool for about 10-15 minutes before removing them from the pan.
Microwave the cream cheese frosting for 10 seconds until it’s thinned out. Using a fork, drizzle the frosting all over your muffins. Serve warm or cooled. Store on the counter in a tightly covered container.
