Individual servings of monkey bread are oh so cute and so delicious!

Monkey Bread

Several weeks ago a few of my cute little friends at church asked me when they could come over and cook with me again.  I asked them what they wanted to make and one of them quickly answered Monkey Bread!  I decided it was time for another Kids Can Cook session!

Individual Monkey Bread @yourhomebasedmom 1

I am a fan of monkey bread so I made a date with these two cuties!  Their parents graciously let me borrow them for a Saturday afternoon.

Monkey Bread from yourhomebasedmom

I have shared a recipe for monkey bread before.  It is made with yeast dough that is made from scratch but I decided to simplify our monkey bread making session a bit and use store bought biscuit dough.  I’m not afraid of combining kids and yeast dough though.  Remember that fun Bread in a Bag we did last summer?  I used the Pillsbury Grand Biscuits that come in the can.  Each biscuit will make one individual monkey bread.  We used two cans for a total of 16 biscuits.  You will also need cinnamon sugar,  a cinnamon/butter/brown sugar mixture and a powdered sugar glaze to top them with.

Monkey Bread

I gave each of the girls a pair of scissors and let them cut each biscuit into 8 pieces.  We cut it in half, and then in half again and then in half once more!

Monkey Bread

There was a lot of concentrating going on.

We put their cinnamon sugar mixture in a plastic baggie and they placed each biscuit after it was cut into the bag and gave it a nice shake.

Monkey Bread

We lined our muffin tins with cupcake liners to make clean up, removal and serving easier.  Each muffin tin had one biscuit or 8 pieces in it.

Monkey Bread

We then put a couple of spoonfuls of the brown sugar/butter mixture over the top of each monkey bread.

Don’t worry if the measurement isn’t exact – it’s more important that they have fun doing it!

Then you pop them into the oven and the girls play with your girl’s old Barbies while the monkey bread bakes.

We let them cool a bit so more Barbie playing could occur and then drizzled them with a powdered sugar glaze.

Monkey Bread

They had a lot of fun with this and we ended up with glaze in a few places it shouldn’t be but they had fun!

Then for the best part.  They got to eat them!!

We managed to save a few so they could take some home to share with their family too.

Monkey Bread

They two cuties are full of energy and are good friends so there was lots of talking, laughing and silliness along with our baking.  I loved it!

    I would give this 100 stars if I could. Recipe is both easy and delicious. We leave off the drizzle of sugar and they are still amazing. My husband has asked me to make them and freeze for his weekday breakfasts. Even my grown kids are so excited when they are here and I make them. Thank you for a family favorite!!!

    Just what I was looking for especially when Covid is still an issue. Individual monkey bread was the perfect solution. I used Grands cinnamon roll biscuits they were delicious.
