Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread Muffins
I think we can all agree that the worst part about monkey bread is having to share. It’s one of those desserts that people tend to tear apart like wild animals, and as much as a I LOVE monkey bread, every time I eat it I can’t help but feel like screaming “paws off” to my fellow devourers. Well, your wish has been granted, a Christmas Miracle has occurred in the form of cinnamon sugar biscuit monkey bread muffins.
No sharing necessary.
Buttery, gooey, doughy, and smothered in cinnamon sugar, these cinnamon sugar biscuit monkey bread muffins are my breakfast of choice.
It doesn’t hurt that they’re stupid easy to make.
The kind of easy that makes you wonder why you would ever make anything time consuming ever again.

Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread Muffins
I think we can all agree that the worst part about monkey bread is having to share. No need to share with these gooey cinnamon sugar monkey bread muffins. Just as easy as they are delicious!
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 12 minutes
- Total Time: 17mins
- Yield: 8 muffins
- Category: Breakfast
- Method: Oven
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
for the monkey bread muffins
- 1 can biscuit dough (we used Pillsbury Grands!)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of salt
for the cream cheese glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 8 muffin cups with muffin tins. Set aside.
- Combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside. Pour the melted butter into a small bowl.
- Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut each biscuit into quarters. Dip each piece in butter and then the cinnamon sugar mixture to fully coat the pieces. Fill each muffin cup with the biscuit pieces. We put about 6 pieces in each cup.
- Bake at 350°F for 11 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are mostly baked, but still gooey in the middle.
- Allow the muffins to cool slightly while you make the cream cheese glaze. Combine all the glaze ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat and whisk until combined. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins and serve hot!
These muffins are fantastic! I’ve made a few of your recipes and every one of them is wonderful. These muffins came together in minutes, filled the house with the most wonderful scent, and were a crowd favorite. I’ll be making them regularly. Thanks again!
What do you think about using Pillsbury Frozen Grand Biscuits? To let them thaw and then cut each into four pieces. Do you think that would work? These frozen raw biscuits taste so much like homemade biscuits – more than the canned biscuits. Thanks.
Hey Carey! I think that would work perfectly! We’ve never tried it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
