Monkey Bread


I've never understood why this is called monkey bread, but I really don't care, because it is so good! The only thing you have to worry about is not eating the whole thing at one sitting. Trust me, it is VERY easy to do. This bread is so tasty and sweet, it's ooey and gooey and soft and the perfect bite sized snacks. It's like a pull apart cinnamon roll, and perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast or even a yummy dessert. If you've never had it, you are really missing out!

Monkey Bread

3- 7.5 oz cans buttermilk biscuits (I use Pillsbury)
(you can also make your own dough, but this is sooo easy)
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 Tbl. cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted

Using your kitchen shears, cut each biscuit into 4 separate pieces. Mix cinnamon and sugar together and dip each biscuit piece into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place biscuits into a greased bundt pan. Pour any of the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture and the melted butter over the biscuits. Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake for about 25-28 minutes or until browned on the top. Take out of the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Tip bundt pan upside down and place monkey bread on serving dish. Best when eaten fresh out of the oven.

This is a tradition in our house on Christmas morning. It never ails to be a favorite.
