Monkey Bread always reminds me of Vacation Bible School as a high school worker since the snack room always seemed to be stocked with its gooey goodness. I have continued to make it through the years and have enjoyed its buttery and syrupy richness. I used to always save this recipe for when guests are coming over as traditionally I’ve made it in a Bundt pan. Carving through this decadent breakfast for just two people at home seemed excessive. I was exceptionally excited to whip of a batch of individual monkey bread muffins. The individual portions took away all the guilt!
Food H & P: (makes 18 muffins)
2 large cans of refrigerated biscuits
1 stick (1/2 cup of butter)
½ cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
2 apples- cored, peeled, and chopped into small pieces
Food Rx:
Spray the muffin tins with cooking spray. Melt butter and mix in brown sugar in a small bowl. Place a large spoonful of butter and brown sugar mixture into the bottom of the muffin tins. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a gallon zip lock bag (or large bowl) and add the biscuits. Shake (or stir) the biscuits and chopped apples together with the sugar mixture. Fill the muffin tins with the biscuit and apples then top with any remaining butter and brown sugar mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 mins or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through. Let the muffins sit in the muffin tray for 2-3 mins before removing.
Nursing Tip:
Speaking of monkeys and any other animals it is NOT necessary to bring live or decreased animals with you to any ER or clinic. If you have a snake bite I will say it is helpful to know the type of snake in order to assess the need for antivenom medication; however, a cell phone picture will do just fine!
