Monkey Bread Muffins

My 15 year old is completely obsessed with Monkey Bread. He begged me to learn how to make it for years. Finally, after many very average attempts and some epic failures, I finally found the end-all-be-all version. This recipe became an instant classic in my house and now makes appearances every time we host an event.

Coat the biscuit pieces evenly.

Monkey Bread is typically served as a whole cake but I love the idea of breaking it down into individual cupcakes. Each cupcake is packed with light-as-a-feather biscuits that serve as the most indulgent delivery service for each buttery-cinnamon-sugar bite. Get ready to make room for a new powerhouse dessert in your recipe box!

Distribute the brown sugar, butter, vanilla mixture evenly over cupcakes.

This completely dreamy dessert is the perfect indulgence for any occasion. I just love when something easy to make is off the charts delicious. These beautiful Monkey Bread Cupcakes are a huge hit at brunches, classroom treats, or any occasion where dessert is served.

As soon as they are cool enough to handle, move to cooling rack.

 

The most delicious finished product! YUM.

You can spray a muffin pan and load up your dough but I prefer liners. I use cupcake liners called Tulip Liners because they are so pretty and make for a more dramatic presentation. The high walls of the paper tulip container hold the biscuits and butter combination perfectly.

Enjoy!
