You’ve probably heard of Monkey Bread, the holiday treat that people love. But this is a little bit different.
It’s an incredibly popular snack and breakfast food, but it’s more than that.
Within every single biscuit that’s there is a filling that’s got a really good surprise within this. it’s also layered further with a beautiful glaze made of brown sugar that literally gets baked into the bread that’s there.
If you like nuts, you can add the nuts as a sort of crunch to the top of this.
Whether you’re serving this for breakfast, or for a fun dessert, this is a great staple not just for the holidays, but for all sorts of family gatherings as well, and worth it if you’re a huge fan of this tasty dish!
Ingredients:
1 package cream cheese cut into 20 cubes (8 ounces)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tube 10-count refrigerated buttermilk flaky biscuits
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans if you want
1 cup packed brown sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven directly to 350, and then, get a bowl that’s safe for the microwave, heating up the butter and the brown sugar for about a minute on high settings, or until the sugar begins to dissolve. Put it to the side.
Flatting the biscuits into circles that are a couple of inches.
Take the sugar and the cinnamon, combining this together.
Put a heaping into the center of the bread that’s there, and then add a cube of cream cheese on top.
Next, you want to take the dough, fold this over, and then pinch every edge so that it seals in a tight fashion.
Take a half a cup of walnuts and peanuts, and sprinkle this into a fluted pan that is coated with the cooking spray. Lay the balls over the top of this dish.
Take that brown sugar and butter mixture from one of the initial steps, and then top that over this.
Add another layer of walnuts and pecans to this if you desire, to give it a great, nutty texture to it.
Repeat this until you’ve covered the entire fluted pan with all of this. then, place this into the oven, and bake this at that heat for up to 45 minutes or until the crust starts to look like a golden brown color.
Once you take it out of the oven, turn it upside down on a platter to serve immediately.
You can add more walnuts and glaze to the top if you want, but usually this is more than enough. You want to serve this fresh out of the oven.
When you’re done with the rest of the dish, put the leftovers in the fridge, taking them out and heating them up with either a microwave, or the oven to serve these. You want to serve your monkey bread warm to enjoy the glaze that this has to offer.
