Ingredients

The Dough:

  • 1 can biscuit dough Pillsbury grand
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tbsp cinnamon powder
  • pinch of salt

The Cream-Cheese Glaze:

  • ½ cup icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • ½ tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 6 muffin cups with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cut the biscuits into bite-sized pieces. Pour the melted butter into a bowl. Dip each biscuit dough piece in the melted butter then coat with cinnamon sugar.
  • Fill each muffin cup with the coated biscuit pieces. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven until the biscuits are cooked.
  • Transfer the monkey bread muffins to a cooling rack and let them cool down.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese glazing. Combine the ingredients for the glaze in a saucepan and melt over MEDIUM-HIGH heat.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the muffins and serve warm!

Notes

The cooking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the pan. I recommend placing the pan in the middle of the oven and cooking until the top is golden brown. You can also use a thermometer. The internal temperature should show 190°F.
