Monkey Muffins

We love Monkey Bread around here but sometimes a big pan of it is just too much, you know? So I decided to reduce the recipe and make muffin sized servings. (Sometimes I impress even myself.) I used the Grands sized biscuits and cut them in quarter sized pieces but if you want to make them even smaller you could do that. I put 3 cut pieces in each muffin cup but to quarters works too and gives you more muffins. So many combos! Just try them...easy and fun!

Monkey Muffins



1 10 count serving package of Grands biscuits
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 stick butter ~ melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with liners.

Cut biscuits into quarters. (I used my kitchen shears)

Melt the butter in a medium sized bowl. Add the cut biscuits and toss to coat.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a dish. 

Roll the buttered, cut biscuit pieces in the cinnamon/sugar then place 2 or 3 pieces into each cup.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until lightly browned and done. 

While muffins are hot, drizzle each muffin with a teaspoon of glaze.

Allow to cool then drizzle muffins with remaining glaze.
