And people say I monkey around!!!!! That is, by far, the most annoying song ever, and now it is stuck in your head. You’re welcome.
For months I have been salivating every single time I log onto Facebook and see a picture of monkey bread posted. Yeah, I know….I am one of those people who does not understand why people post pictures of food on facebook. It makes me so mad. What is the point of it, seriously? The only exception to this horrible Facebook No-No is the picture of the monkey bread. That is totally acceptable to me. My college pals, Nick and Nikki, make it for their two young sons often, and it always looks so freakin’ delicious. Even though Nick has emailed me the recipe multiple times, I never ever got around to making it. That is, until Monday when I decided to make it for my co-workers. It is so easy, so delicious, and kid-friendly (even if I am not). Here’s how you make it!
- Here’s what you need: A bundt pan, a gallon zip loc bag, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 4 cans Pillsbury biscuits, 1/2 cup butter, and 3/4 brown sugar
- After preheating the oven to 350, mix the sugar and cinnamon in the ziploc bag (not the brown sugar, that’s for later).
- Shake it like a polaroid picture!
- Cut each biscuit into 4 quarters. After you have finished cutting up each biscuit, put all of the pieces into ziploc bag.
- Again, shake until each piece of dough is covered in the sugary mixture.
- Place each piece in the bundt pan, which should be coated with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix melted butter and brown sugar together until smooth.
- Pour the brown sugar mixture onto of the dough pieces inside the bundt pan. You are now ready to bake! Baking time should be between 40 and 45 minutes, based on your oven.
- Look at that fabulosity! Let the monkey bread sit about 10 minutes before removing from pan. This is best served warm! Enjoy!
