    Maple Syrup Monkey Bread Muffins

    What is it about Monkey Bread (aka Pull-Apart Bread) that I find so fascinating? Is it because it's so easy to make and taste delicious? Probably. I mean how can you mess up a recipe that basically involves baking a dough tossed in a Sugar Cinnamon mixture? The wife and I always feel guilty when I make a traditional Monkey Bread in a bundt pan because we feel obligated to eat the whole thing.

    Maple Syrup Monkey Bread Muffins

    Well, this is how I solved that problem. Make Maple Syrup Monkey Bread Muffins! The process is really no different than making a traditional Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread in a bundt pan, just a few minor tweaks. The challenging part is dividing the dough into equal parts to fill the muffin cups as equally as possible. In my experience, cans of biscuits come in either 12 oz or 16 oz sizes. Doesn't really matter which you use as long as you end up with roughly 3 same-sized pieces of dough in each muffin cup.

    Let me tell you something, you will not believe just how good these muffins taste! The Maple Syrup really adds a nice touch to the muffins. If you let these muffins cool down before serving, you will end up with a nice chewy sweet candy-like bottom.

      These muffins are great. Better than making it in a bundt baking dish for me as there are only 2 people in the house. So tasty and we just love them.
