MEXICAN MONKEY BREAD

This is a fabulous bread that is so quick and easy to make. Once you make it the first time, you can tweek it up and make it your own. The best part it you just let everyone pull their own pieces off. I am all about adding extra cheese, butter and garlic myself.

Time 1h

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube/Bundt® pan.
  • Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts and raisins, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the margarine with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Do not cut! The bread just pulls apart.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe bananas. Overripe bananas will make the bread too mushy.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter. This will help the bread to come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the bread.
  • Let the bread cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent the bread from breaking.
  • Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. It's delicious on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Mexican Monkey Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover bananas, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack or dessert, give Mexican Monkey Bread a try!
