Making Monkey Bread – A Christmas Tradition

December 24, 2009 By 7 Comments

I feel compelled to share a Smith Family Holiday Tradition with you…..

This is such a hit, my husband asked if I would make it on Christmas Eve too. Notsomuch.

I make it for Christmas Breakfast. It is sweet and rich, filling and brimming with tradition. (And ABSURDLY simple!)

I bring you:

Monkey Bread.

Ingredients:

In a Gallon bag, place 2/3 cup sugar and 2 tsp of cinnamon
Shake quartered biscuits in mixture
Drop into a greased bundt pan

Sauce:

Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350 degrees, until Golden on top.

Put a plate over the top of the bundt pan and flip over.

Pick apart and eat.

Enjoy.

    Girrrrrrrl, I want some Monkey Bread!!! Those are all of my favorite ingredients rolled into one hot, yummy dish – Yum Yum! I seriously have zero restraint when it comes to biscuits, butter, cinnamon and sugar. I’d love to make the family some MB but I know I’d end up hoarding half of it and getting sick. Enjoy and Merry Christmas Danielle!

    Wow! My Mom and I used to make this Monkey Bread all the time when I was little! I had totally forgotten about it until I stumbled upon this article! Now that I have two young girls (ages 7 and 9) I think I’ll introduce them to Monkey Bread :-) Thanks for the reminder :-)
