If you’re a fan of monkey bread like I am, then you’ll love these monkey bread muffins. They’re moist, rich and definitely craving-worthy! The best part? They’re quick and easy to make using biscuit dough.
Ingredients
- Refrigerated biscuit dough: This is your standard biscuit dough, regular or large size (I used Pillsbury).
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Butterscotch pudding mix: A single 1-oz packet is all you need
- Icing: A mix of unsalted butter, milk and powdered sugar
How to Make Monkey Bread Muffins
You only need about 10 minutes of prep time for these muffins. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan (or two 6-cup pans).
While the oven is warming, quarter the biscuits and coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Then drizzle melted butter on top and bake for 18-20 minutes.
While they’re cooling, make the icing by whisking together powdered sugar and milk. Once the muffins are lukewarm or cooler, drizzle the icing on top and serve!
