Okay, so since y’all asked, here is the recipe for Monkey Bread. It is unbelievably good and oh so easy. I make this every Christmas morning so that we can have a good sugar high as we open all our presents.
Monkey Bread
3 (10 biscuit) cans of biscuits (I’m sure some people use homemade or whatever, but I am not those people)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter (not margarine, so just own the fat, ladies)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional and it’s an option I don’t choose. Why ruin pure, sugary goodness with nuts?)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a BUNDT PAN (although others would say this isn’t necessary).
If you have chosen the nut option, go ahead and throw them in. It’s your monkey bread and I’ll keep my mouth shut.
Cut biscuits into quarters.
Combine cinnamon and granulated sugar. Roll each biscuit quarter in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Arrange them in BUNDT PAN.
Melt butter in microwave and add brown sugar. Stir it all together.
Pour brown sugar mixture over biscuits.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.
Let cool for about 5 minutes and then place on cake plate. I know some people who immediately get a fork and just start eating pieces right out of the BUNDT PAN (and yes, I am those people).
Cry tears of joy at the goodness of it all.
I’m gonna make this for our christmas morning this year, can’t wait! Have a great holiday!
Just an FYI, you can also make this w/o cutting up the biscuits. (which I think is the hardest part) Just dip them in cinnamon sugar and stand up in the bundt pan. Much easier and less messy!
My MawMaw used to make this Christmas mornings and just about any morning there was more than 1 grandkid waking up at her house – and since she has 13 grandkids, it has been made countless times. Not to mention the 17 great-grand kids that now grace her door steps.
