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

We made this all growing up, but this time, I used crescent rolls instead of biscuits, kind of by accident. I tore up the pieces and rolled them into balls. We will do that always now. They were so light and airy! YUM!

I made this for breakfast on summer vacation for my son and his friends - they still talk about it and have requested it regularly. Very easy to do, and I like the suggestion of adding nutmeg.

I've made it twice now. My husband and I love it! This time, I sprinkled sliced almonds around it.

I cut this recipe in half to see if I would like it. I did make a few adjustments: added a sprinkle of nutmeg to the cinnamon/sugar mix and added a layer of chopped pecans in the center. I baked it in a 9x5 loaf pan for about 22 min. turned out great!
