Mini Monkey Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place 24 mini cupcake liners in the cups of a mini-muffin pan. (Alternatively, use twelve 3-inch mini cast-iron pans.) With kitchen shears, cut each biscuit into 8 pieces. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and maple syrup. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Dip each biscuit piece in the maple-butter, and then roll it in the sugar mixture. Place 3 to 4 coated pieces in each muffin cup (or 5 to 6 pieces in each cast-iron pan), pressing to compact.
• Bake the muffins until browned, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cut each biscuit into six pieces. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, parsley, thyme and chives. Place Parmesan cheese in another bowl. Dip biscuit pieces in butter mixture, then roll in cheese. Place in two 4-in. tube pans coated with cooking spray. , Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Cut each biscuit into quarters and place into a bowl.
• Combine butter, garlic, parsley and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Pour over biscuit pieces.
• Gently toss together and make sure everything is evenly coated with the butter mixture.
• Place 6-7 biscuit pieces in each muffin cup. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
• Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cut each dinner roll into 6 equal pieces. In a bowl, combine butter and corn syrup and stir until well mixed. In another bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Dip each roll piece in the butter mixture and then in the sugar mixture. Place 6 pieces in each well sprayed cup of a 12 cup muffin tin. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let double in size. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 15-20 minutes. Cool 3-4 minutes before removing from pan. Combine icing ingredients and mix well. Drizzle over monkey breads if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a small bowl, melt butter in the microwave. In a separate bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.
• Using a pair of clean kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into 4-5 smaller pieces. You will have about 32-40 dough pieces total when you are finished.
• Dip each piece of dough in butter; making sure to cover the entire surface. Then roll the buttered dough around in the cinnamon and sugar mixture until it is completely covered. Place the cinnamon-covered piece of dough in a cupcake liner.
• Continue to dip each piece of dough in butter and then roll around in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Place 3-4 pieces of dough in each muffin tin well, making about 10-15 muffins total.
• Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins start to turn golden. You don't want to overbake them because then they will be hard and crunchy; but if you don't bake them long enough you might have uncooked dough in the center. Keep an eye on them while they cook and once they start to turn golden on top, they should be finished.
• Remove muffins from oven.
• In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk and beat together with a whisk or electric mixer. If you want your frosting to be a little thicker, add in more powdered sugar. Use a spoon to drizzle frosting over the top of each muffin. Because the muffins are so hot, the frosting will absorb into the muffins fairly quickly, so feel free to top with more frosting if desired.
• Let the muffins soak up the frosting for a couple of minutes and then serve while the muffins are still warm. Enjoy!
