Monkey Bread Muffin Cups


These yummy little muffin cups taste like cinnamon rolls, but couldn't be simpler to make. They would be perfect for a holiday morning or a weekend brunch.

2 tubes of biscuit dough (20 biscuits total)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
6 T butter
1/3 cup brown sugar

Spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray. Cut each biscuit into 4ths. You should have 80 little pieces of dough. In a ziplock bag, combine sugar and cinnamon. Then add pieces of dough and shake around until all are totally coated. Divide dough between muffin cups. (I put around 7 in each cup.) In a saucepan, boil the butter and brown sugar. Put a spoonful over each muffin cup. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 18-20 minutes or until baked through. Remove from muffin cups and cool slightly. Can add optional frosting. Makes 10-12 muffins, depending on how many pieces of dough you use for each cup. They are very tasty, especially when warm!

Frosting:
2 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 c. powdered sugar
milk for consistency
