Monkey Breakfast

I made monkey bread this morning since Noah was leaving. It seems like I always make it for the Zyduck family when they are here! Anyway, it was so good! Too bad Noah slept so late that it wasn't even warm by the time he tried it!

My mom use to make monkey bread on special occasions but she'd also surprise us on random Saturday mornings with it too. (Speaking of my mom, she's the one who painted that funky platter for me!)

I absolutely LOVE monkey bread and now Nathan is hooked too! It's a great recipe to make ahead of time or with your kiddos! Yum! Yum!

Monkey Bread Recipe

INGREDIENTS
3 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube pan.

2. Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts and raisins, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.

3. In a small saucepan, melt the margarine with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits.

4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Do not cut! The bread just pulls apart.
