Muffin Cup Monkey Bread
Muffin Cup Monkey Bread is a nice quick and easy dessert to throw together in a pinch.
My husband and I have purposely not been keeping snacks or desserts in the house. If you don’t have anything sweet, you will most definitely develop a sweet tooth, right?
That happened earlier this week so I just whipped up this Muffin Cup Monkey Bread. I was pleasantly surprised to find a can of biscuits in the refrigerator. All you really need is biscuits, cinnamon, sugar and butter.

My muffin pan is about 35 years old so it is a dark color and well seasoned. A well seasoned pan will cook just a tad quicker than a newer pan.
Tools
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 (8ct.) cans of biscuits
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup melted butter
Optional
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup raisins
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°. Spray you muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside
Pour the granulated sugar and cinnamon into the Ziploc bag and shake to blend. Set aside.
Open the canned biscuits and break each one into small pieces. Place the pieces in you medium size bowl. Once you are finished breaking up the biscuits you can begin coating them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Add a few biscuit pieces at a time to the Ziploc bag cinnamon sugar mixture, close the bag and shake to coat the biscuits. Remove the coated biscuit pieces and place them into the sections of your prepared muffin baking pan. Fill each section about half way.
If you are adding nuts and or raisins, now is the time to place them into each section of the muffin pan.
Now, melt the butter in the microwave and then stir the brown sugar in until completely dissolved. Pour a little of this mixture over the tops of the biscuits in each section in the muffin pan.
Place the muffin pan into the preheated and oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits are done.
Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes and then remove to your serving platter. Serve and enjoy!

That looks super yummy! Love monkey bread and all the gooey sugar glaze on it.
I LOVE awesome, quick, easy recipes! And I love monkey bread, so this is certainly a double-win! I’m so happy you’re with us on The Yuck Stops Here! HUGS

How can you go wrong with anything that involves monkey bread?
You got that right! It is a nice, easy, quick dessert!
I’ve seen recipes for Monkey Bread, but I never made any before because it seemed like it would be so sticky and messy to dish it out! Muffin cups are a great idea!
Monkey Bread is very American, so I first tried it when I was an adult already. I thought this must be a very complicated kind of bread. Surprisingly it is not.
I did not know that Monkey Bread was considered to be American but I like that 🙂 I’m always hearing people say that America doesn’t actually have a culture. Thanks Anna.
I haven’t made monkey bread in years! Thanks for reminding me that I really like it! I’ve always made mine in a pound cake or bundt pan. I’m going to try it your way.
I hadn’t made it in years either until the other day 🙂 It sure is good though! I like the Muffin Cups because you can portion it that way. Thanks for the Pin.
