Monkeying Around for Breakfast

Some mornings I don’t want to go to all the trouble of making a big breakfast, so I make the boys Monkey Bread.  Monkey Bread is so easy to make.  All you need is three tubes of cheap refrigerator biscuits, sugar, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon.  If you want to be creative, you can add nuts and/or raisins.

First you begin with a sugar and cinnamon mixture.  (I’ll give you the recipe, don’t worry).  You can put it mixture in a bag to shake, but I prefer a big bowl.

Take your biscuits and using a shears or scissors, cut your biscuits into fourths.  Every once and awhile, dip your shears in water to make sure the cuts are clean and don’t stick to your shears.

Once you have a good number of cut up biscuits, shake your bowl to coat the biscuit pieces real good.

Pull the coated pieces out of your bowl and place into a well greased bundt pan.     Continue cutting, coating and placing pieces in the pan until you and finished all three tubes.  Make sure you are evenly spacing them while you build up in the pan.

Next, pour over your brown sugar/butter mixture and put in the oven.

After baking for 35 minutes it will look like this.  Make sure you cool for 10 minutes in the pan, turn over onto a plate and  . . .
