🥣How To Make Monkey Bread Muffins
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a mixing bowl, combine white sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg using a fork until well blended.
Slice each refrigerated Grands biscuit into 4 pieces. Roll each piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
Fill each jumbo muffin pan halfway with the coated cinnamon rolls.
In another bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Pour this mixture over the half-filled muffin wells, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Top each muffin well with more biscuit pieces, filling it up to the brim.
Pour another layer of the butter mixture generously over the top.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, applying an additional layer of the butter mixture 5 minutes before it finishes baking.
Warm the frosting from the cinnamon roll container slightly in the microwave.
Once the cinnamon roll muffins are done, drizzle the warmed frosting over each monkey bread muffin.
Serve and savor!
📋Tips
- Allow your cinnamon roll monkey bread muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them. Waiting about 5 minutes will help them hold together better and prevent them from falling apart.
- Avoid overcooking. Aim for soft, golden-brown muffins.
- Add nuts. Consider chopped walnuts or pecans for extra flavor.
Avoid crowding the muffin cups. Leave ample space between the biscuit pieces to allow for even cooking and to ensure the frosting reaches all parts.
