Monkey See, Monkey Do, Monkey Bread, Monkey You!!!  Monkey bread, is something I thought mostly everyone  has had a time or two, but when I posted a picture for it a few weeks ago, I had a couple requests for the recipe so I thought I would share my super easy, quick version of monkey bread.  Sometimes if I have a older banana I throw it in, and it almost tastes like Bananas foster and I love love love that.  But it would also be good with pears or strawberries or even nuts, or just plain!  I served this down at the Bay and my brother Bob loved it, I told him how easy it was and now he is making it for himself!  See even a Cowboy can do it!  This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled!

Ingredients: 1 can buttermilk biscuits, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 T cinnamon, 4 T butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, (optional) 1 ripe banana

In a gallon size ziplock bag, add your white sugar and cinnamon, shake it up till well mixed

Then take each biscuit and cut into 4 pieces

add to bag and shake until each side is well coated with the sugar cinnamon combo

Place the pieces into a pie plate, evenly spreading them out

Then melt butter and brown sugar in a small sauce pan

Chop up banana

add to sauce pan

cook until sugar and butter are well incorporated

Then pour onto of sugar coated biscuits

and bake at 350 for 30 minutes

Let cool for about 5 minutes, then set a plate on top and flip over

all of the sauce has gone to the bottom! YUM!

Serve with a fried egg! Or by its self, or whatever just serve!!!

  5. I’ve never made this with the bananas before! It looks fabulous and easy.:) You know me Miss Newlywed, It’s got to be easy.LOL

  6. Mmmmmmmmmonkey bread! A summer camp favorite. Every Saturday morning was monkey bread. As I recall it was made from frozen bread dough. I’ve always wondered about making it from scratch…with homemade bread. What do you think?

  9. I love to make money bread, but always made a big pan and sometimes had trouble getting it done. I love how you made this up in a pie dish. It makes it easier to bake, Thanks!

  10. I would have loved to try this out but I can not get hold of buttermilk biscuits here in Belgium. Shame, because it looks yummie!

  11. Monkey bread with bananas–now why didn’t I think of that?
    😉 Thanks for the recipe, can’t wait to try it out! Have a blessed day!

  12. I’ve got to admit I’ve never had monkey bread…..I’ve heard of it but have never eaten any. Thanks for the fun recipe! I have a feeling I’ll be making this quite often. 🙂

    Oh and by the way…..I love that picture of your boys!

  13. I make a similar one but use frozen rolls instead of biscuits. It rises overnight and is ready to bake the next morning. My family loves it. Beginning August 5, I will be hosting Crock Pot Wednesday at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. I hope you will join in the fun and share in the prizes to be given away:)

  14. I never thought to add banana to my Monkey Bread. That’s a great idea. I make something similar, but I use the frozen bread dough, too. I also add one box of Jell-o regular pudding mix and it gets really caramel-y . But your version is more spontaneous. I’ll have to pick up a can of those rolls. 🙂 ~ Robyn
