Recipe: Mini Monkey Bread

Mini monkey bread! Have you ever tried the larger version of the cinnamon and sugar monkey bread? Well, if you have and wished you could have a small taste on the weekend without making a huge batch, then this recipe is for you! I take the traditional monkey bread and make it mini. Let’s get baking.

Ingredients

• 3 frozen dinner rolls
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 2 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla pudding mix
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter

First, get out a mini dish. I used these mini dishes from Le Creuset and they’re awesome. I’ve used the for potatoes, remember the potato gratin recipe? So good. Okay, back to mini monkey bread.

Once you find a dish, spray it with a bit of pam and if you don’t have any, then lightly coat the dish with a bit of the melted butter. Next, put in the 3 frozen dinner roles, then dust with the cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla pudding mix. Lastly, pour over the melted butter and let it sit for 8 hours or overnight while the bread rises.

When it’s fluffy, like the photo below, it’s ready to bake. Set the oven at 350 degrees and bake for 17 minutes. I usually put the mini dish inside of an 8×8 pan, just to catch any of the over-spill. Just a little tip!

Ta-da! In just under 20 minutes you’ll have a mini monkey bread ready to eat.

Looks good, eh?! It’s just like the big one, but all for you. I have 4 of these mini dishes and it’s fun to make individualized ones for breakfasts or brunches since the presentation is cuter.

Well, there you have it, a breakfast treat for the weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope your weekend is as sweet at this mini monkey bread. See you again soon – bye!
