Cinnamon Monkey Bread Recipe

Rating 5

Is it possible for four kids to cook together without total chaos in the kitchen? Yes, with the right recipe. This is a favorite with my bunch. They get to "play" with the dough as they roll pieces of refrigerated biscuits into balls.—Lisa Combs, Greenville, Ohio

This is a wonderful recipe. My husband and son like the cinnamon roll-type texture. I have also made this recipe without the addition of brown sugar & butter glaze - and it is wonderful that way as well. Makes the bread taste less like cinnamon rolls and more like cinnamon-sugar doughnuts! Yum. I will definitely be making this recipe again :)

This is a great recipe to cook with kids. My 9 and 5 year old son and daughter had a great time. I quartered the biscuits, one child rolled dough balls while the other rolled them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and the finished product is really good. Great with cocoa or a cup of coffee.

Our three kids have made this recipe every Christmas Eve for years and it's always a big hit at the family Christmas Eve party. It goes quickly!

Easy and delicious. We make it all the time when we have guests. My nephew asks for it every time he visits. Sometimes we sprinkle chopped pecans on each layer of dough balls.

I made this just as a simple easy surprise for dessert one night. Definitely would make it again, maybe with some walnuts or some kind of nuts to offset the sweet.
