CINI MINI MONKEY BREADS

Traditional monkey bread is made in a large Bundt pan. This allows you to peel away each bite to enjoy. However, this recipe takes that same idea and shrinks it down to personal serving sizes! Each piece is covered in cinnamon, sugar, and butter. During the baking process they stick together to create one little perfect monkey bread. As soon as they’re cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze all over the tops!

INGREDIENTS

Monkey Bread

• 12 frozen Rhodes Dinner rolls, thawed 
• ½ cup butter, melted 
• 1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
• 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Vanilla Icing

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 to 4 Tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Monkey Bread:

Cut each thawed roll into 6 equal pieces. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter and corn syrup.

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Dip each piece of roll into the butter mixture and then into the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Toss to coat.

Place all 6 coated pieces into a well-greased cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. Repeat with all remaining rolls.

Bake for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove rolls from the oven. Let cool for 20 minutes before removing rolls from the pan. (If you don’t let them cool slightly they will fall apart!)

Vanilla Icing:

Stir all the icing ingredients together in a medium bowl, using milk to reach desired thickness. Spoon over rolls and enjoy!

SERVINGS

ADDITIONS

I always say, let your imagination run wild! These sweet morsels are delicious on their own, but if you’re looking for a little more flare, then I say shoot for the stars. If you are a fan of raisins, this is a great recipe to add those to. Another option is to add chopped apples. They give these monkey breads a fresh spin you will love!
