Following is a yummy Monkey Bread Muffins Recipe and guest post
by frugal friend Audrey … enjoy!!

I love working during tax season, because I get to bake all I want and then have people to give it away to!  We don’t have to eat all of it by ourselves 🙂  Everyone seems happy with the arrangement. They get treats, I don’t get stuck with all the goodies! Last week my boss requested Monkey Bread.  I think his wife has him on a diet and he wanted some sweets… ha ha!

Monkey bread is so easy to make, but seems to make too much, so I decided to try making it into muffins.  {this recipe can be used for a regular batch of monkey bread also} These were so good for breakfast!  And I think next time I will make a cream cheese frosting to drizzle on the top and make them more like a cinnamon roll muffin!

Monkey Bread Muffins Recipe

This quick and easy Monkey Bread Muffins Recipe is a temptation not worth fighting!
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time17 mins
Total Time27 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: biscuits, easy, muffin
Servings: 12
Author: Audrey

Ingredients

  • 36 ounces Refrigerated Biscuit Dough 3 packages, 12 ounces each
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup 2 sticks butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts optional
  • ½ cup raisins optional

Instructions

  • Heat Oven to 350 degrees. Put Foil Liners into muffin tin (I figured foil would be better than paper)
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into thirds, and then cut into smaller pieces. Shake biscuit pieces in plastic bag and add all pieces to 1 muffin cup.
  • Continue until all biscuits are gone or muffin tins are full.
  • In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute.
  • Spoon 1 teaspoon of mixture over each muffin tin.
  • Bake at 350 for 17 minutes, or until done.
  • Cool and eat! The muffins should just pull apart.

Notes

Just in case the sauce bubbles over, you may want to put a sheet pan or cookie sheet under your cupcake tin when baking.

    Can these be frozen after they are made? How would I reheat them?

    Could you do everything but bake them the night before? Refrigerate them in the muffin tin or in a Ziplock and pop in the oven in the morning? Would that work?

    Just made this for a brunch. Can’t wait to try them. They smell divine.! I bought three of the 12 oz. biscuits as stated and was able to make 24 muffins, I used closer to a Tablespoon of brown sugar/butter mixture in each muffin cup,

    I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 c brown sugar and still had left over to throw away . I used the big flaky biscuits!, Albertson’s brand and 1 1/2 was enough. Crowd pleaser here!

    This seems like such a yummy and easy idea–BUT WHAT IF you used refrigerated, cinnamon roll dough (comes in a can in the biscuit section) and use the icing it comes with to drizzle on top…oh yeah I am so trying that!!!

    I had a lot of sauce left over? Should you drizzle more than a teaspoon as directed?

    I’ve made this in my bundt pan, but never even thought about doing it in muffin cups. How brilliant is this?! And since once reader also suggested adding in cubes or bits of cream cheese you can bet I’ll try that variety too. I love baking for my coworkers, and this couldn’t be easier!

    I’m interested in making this & have read through the directions twice… but when & how exactly do you add the walnuts & raisins? I can’t find it. Do you put them with the dough in the cups, or are they cooked with the butter & brown sugar? Thanks.

      Add them into the cups. I also found that there is a lot of sugar/butter mix left over. Keep it and drizzle it over the cup after they come out of the oven.

      I cut the sauce in half and used 2 cans of the smaller cheep biscuits. Cut the biscuits into 1/4 th put 2 biscuits in each cup. Added the raisins after I filled the cups. I used smaller muffin cup size it made 10 cups.
      Love the cream cheese idea. Cant wait to try that!
