Time 50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 12-ounce can refrigerated biscuit dough
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and maple syrup. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Dip each biscuit piece in the maple-butter, and then roll it in the sugar mixture. Place 3 to 4 coated pieces in each muffin cup (or 5 to 6 pieces in each cast-iron pan), pressing to compact.
  • Bake the muffins until browned, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks. Serve warm.

Easy refrigerated biscuit dough monkey bread cooked in muffin pans. My son who calls these 'monkey sins' loves to be in charge of shaking the biscuit pieces with the spiced sugar. I love that I can make a few of these at a time and eat them warm without waiting for a large enough crowd to justify a tube pan full.
