Description

These Monkey Bread Muffins are a quick and easy twist on the classic pull-apart treat. Made with canned biscuits, cinnamon sugar, and a gooey caramel drizzle, they bake up fast and are perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack on the go!


Ingredients

  • 1 can Grand’s Original Biscuits
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray 10 muffin wells in a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into 12 pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Toss each biscuit piece in the mixture until coated. Alternatively, place the sugar and cinnamon in a zip-top bag, add biscuit pieces, and shake to coat.
  4. Place 9 coated biscuit pieces into each of the 10 prepared muffin wells.
  5. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and whisk constantly until the mixture just begins to boil. Remove from heat immediately.
  6. Drizzle the caramel mixture evenly over each muffin.
  7. Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack set over parchment paper.
  9. In a small cup, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze, increase powdered sugar to 1/2 cup.
  • Best served warm, but can be reheated briefly in the microwave.
  • Great for brunch spreads, kids’ snacks, or quick desserts.
