These Monkey Bread Muffins are a delightful twist on the classic pull-apart monkey bread, baked in convenient muffin form. Soft biscuit pieces coated in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, topped with a rich caramel glaze and a sweet powdered sugar drizzle make these treats perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit and Coating

  • 1 can Grand’s Original Biscuits
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Caramel Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Glaze

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray 10 wells of a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cut Biscuits: Open the can of Grand’s Original Biscuits and cut each biscuit into 12 small pieces for bite-size chunks.
  3. Coat Biscuit Pieces: In a medium bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Toss each biscuit piece in this mixture to coat them evenly. Alternatively, place the sugar and cinnamon in a zip-top bag, add the biscuit pieces, then shake the bag to coat all pieces thoroughly.
  4. Arrange Biscuit Pieces: Place 9 coated biscuit pieces into each of the 10 prepared muffin wells, distributing them evenly.
  5. Make Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and whisk continuously until the mixture just starts to boil. Be careful not to overcook the caramel.
  6. Drizzle Caramel: Remove the caramel sauce from heat and immediately drizzle it evenly over the biscuit pieces in each muffin well.
  7. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  8. Cool Slightly and Remove: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully lift each muffin out and transfer to a cooling rack placed over parchment paper to catch drips.
  9. Prepare Glaze: Combine 1/3 cup powdered sugar with 2 teaspoons milk in a small cup or bowl and stir until smooth and well combined.
  10. Drizzle Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If you prefer a deeper caramel flavor, you can let the caramel sauce simmer for an additional minute but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • For easier cleanup, line your baking tray under the muffin tin with parchment paper since caramel may drip.
  • You can use a different cinnamon-sugar ratio if you prefer it more or less sweet or spicy.
  • Serve these muffins warm for the best gooey texture; they can be reheated briefly in a microwave or oven if needed.
