I’ve Been Living a Lie: Monkey Bread Edition

~ jennyscakedreams

So yesterday I went to my mom and dad’s house, I was craving some Monkey Bread and you guys… I needed it like now. Normally I make Monkey Bread the good old-fashioned way. I would let the rolls rise over night and yadda-yadda-yadda. NOT. TODAY. I started rummaging around the fridge and found a few things that I would need, and that’s when I saw them. The cinnamon rolls, in all their glory, staring me in the face.cinnamon rolls

That’s when I thought, what if I made the Monkey Bread out of the Cinnamon Rolls. No, no that would be crazy right? WRONG. I had to! It was as if God himself was trying to tell me to do it. So I stuck with my new plan and found everything else I would need.

I must apologize, this particular recipe is lacking in photographs. But you all don’t really need the pictures of how I got there. First, it’s a pretty easy recipe, which is great. Second, it’s the last picture that really counts.

 

Here’s what you will need:Monkey Bread Ingredients

½ Cup of Granulated Sugar

2 Tablespoons Cinnamon

3 packages of your favorite cinnamon rolls

——

½ Cup of Melted Butter

¾ Cup Brown Sugar

——

Frosting that comes with the Cinnamon Rolls

OR

½ Cup Powdered Sugar

1 Tablespoon Milk

 

Now what do you do?

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Place granulated sugar and cinnamon in a gallon plastic zip bag
  3. Break all cinnamon rolls in half and roll into balls, then place in bag
  4. Shake said bag
  5. Place all cinnamon and sugar covered cinnamon rolls in a pre-greased Bundt pan (das Bundt)
  6. Mix melted butter and brown sugar
  7. Evenly pour over cinnamon roll pieces in pan
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until just browning
  9. Let cool completely before turning over onto a serving platter
  10. Mix powered sugar and milk or warm frosting provided and pour all overFrosting

 

So there you have it everyone. The best Monkey Bread recipe, hands down. There’s only one thing that upsets me about this recipe… I HAVE BEEN LIVING A LIE! Where has this been my whole life and why did no one tell me this would be the greatest mash-up?! It’s ok though, I feed my feelings with food, so these confused/ upset feelings about the Monkey Bread kind of fix themselves…with… the Monkey Bread.

Happy eating, everyone! I’ll see you on the other side of this entire pan!
