Monkey Bread

Here is a a yummy one for you, full of warm, sweet, gooey goodness: Monkey Bread! Monkey Bread is a simple pull-apart bread, very similar to cinnamon buns, that was widely popular in the 60's and 70's. Within the past couple years it has been making a big comeback, and anyone who has tasted this deliciously scrumptious, gooey cinnamon bread can tell you why. Because it only has about four main ingredients, this bread is really easy and could be made for a quick breakfast or snack in no time! It would also be delicious with some homemade cream cheese icing drizzled over it while it is still warm. Enjoy!


Gooey Monkey Bread
4 cans refrigerated biscuits
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (these are optional, it's great with or without them)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-10 inch tube pan. Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a medium sized plastic bag. Cut the biscuits into halves or quarters and place six to eight biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Shake well.


Arrange pieces in the bottom of the greased pan. Continue layering until all the biscuit pieces are coated and in the pan. If you are using raisins, place them among the biscuit pieces as you are layering. (I didn't use the raisins.)


In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the layered biscuits.

Bake for 30 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Pull apart and enjoy! (Recipe Adapted From MomsWhoThink)
