Monkey Bread

My niece spent the night with us this weekend.  I thought it would be fun to make a special treat for breakfast.  I enlisted my niece and Gracie to be the monkey’s in the Monkey Bread recipe.  I let the girls do the mixing, shaking and placing the pieces in the pan.  It was a blast.  I wish Avery was up to join in the fun but she was still asleep.   I found a neat website that explains Monkey Bread and all its variations.  Check it out here.

Let’s get started.  Grab monkeys!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-10 inch tube pan.

Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a medium sized plastic bag.

Cut the biscuits into quarters and place eight biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Shake well.

3. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the greased pan. Continue layering until all the biscuit pieces are coated and in the pan.

 

 

4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the layered biscuits.

5. Bake for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Pull apart and enjoy!
