A friend of mine gave this to me. I tweaked it a little and it turned out fabulous. This can be made the night before. Can also use a different type of pan than a bundt pan. Just remember to invert it onto a plate as soon as it comes out.

  • Grease the muffin cups well: This will help the monkey bread to come out of the cups easily.
  • Bake the monkey bread until it is golden brown: The monkey bread should be baked for about 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm with your favorite dipping sauce: Monkey bread is best served warm with a dipping sauce, such as chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or cream cheese frosting.
