Bread | February 4, 2012 | By

I was watching Pioneer Woman and saw her recipe for Monkey Bread Muffins and had a flash back of my kids growing up and loving this treat for special occasions or holiday celebrations. When I was browsing through Pinterest  a few nights later and saw it posted on someones board I decided that Monkey Bread Muffins were calling my name.  I went into the kitchen, rifled through my pantry, all of the ingredients were there! I had no excuses left. I pulled my bundt pan out and the next thing I knew our house smelled like nirvana!

These are super easy and fast, there’s nothing fancy going on here at all and it’s a nod to processed foods for sure since you’re using canned biscuits. But it’s for a good cause…because they’re MONKEY Bread Muffins for goodness sake!  Just go with it, you will never see a disappointed face if you walk in with a plate of these muffins to a breakfast or office meeting. They make great gifts at the holidays because everyone loves them and they’re so simple to make you can practically throw them together in your sleep.

I made mine a little heavy on the cinnamon, and recommend you do the same. I also add raisins when I have them around and if I know who I’m serving them to, I add pecans or walnuts…otherwise I hold the nuts because I’m finding too many people are allergic these days to include them in gifts or to take to meetings.

Enjoy!

And I Want To Thank…..

Last week was quite exciting for an up and coming food blogger like myself. Imagine my surprise when I received not one, not two but three Liebster Blog Awards from my fellow foodies. Liebster is German and it translates to "favorite", meaning that someone else out there thinks my little baby is worth reading on a regular basis. My recipes, photographs and verbal rants...

The Whole Enchilada

I came up with this recipe for The Whole Enchilada out of leftovers from a pulled pork recipe. If you read my blog, you've most likely heard that the Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork from The Pioneer Woman is one of my favorites. It's such an awesome recipe and is good all by itself with a potato side dish. Later on it makes incredible sandwiches, crispy taco's and my Whole...

Strawberry Scones

I love strawberry scones but, I like them a little sweeter than the traditional or "proper" scone that you purchase in a restaurant or bakery. There is something very proper about a scone and it always makes me want to take out a cup and saucer rather than a coffee cup. I'm not a hot tea drinker or it would definitely call for tea and scones...but I still try to do the nice cup and...

Strawberries & Flank Steak

A lot of the time I don’t really know what I’m going to make on Sunday until I complete my grocery shopping the day before. I am an odd duck who absolutely loves to wander through grocery stores aimlessly and without an agenda while I wait to be inspired. Such was the case yesterday when my eye caught this beautiful basket of bright red strawberries. I looked at them and
