Although I  *try* to promote sugar free snacks and baked goods, I'm definitely not above splurging on sugar-filled deliciousness every so often. Case in point: this monkey bread. It brings me back to my childhood and is Just. So. Delicious. I would never consider eating an entire tube of biscuits but for some reason, eating that same tube of biscuits covered in brown sugar and butter seems totally possible. Ha!

Here's the recipe for those of you looking for a little indulgence in your life:

Monkey bread

Ingredients:
1 7.5 oz tube of 10 small biscuits (that some times comes in a four-pack like this).
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp butter

Directions:

  • Add brown sugar, water, and butter to a bowl and microwave for 1.5 minutes. 
  • Stir to combine after cooking.
  • Cut up biscuits into quarters and add to the sugar mixture. Stir until evenly coated. 
  • Use a spoon to create a whole in the center of un-cooked biscuits. Place a narrow-ish glass in the hole (provides more surface area for cooking).
  • Microwave for 2.5 minutes. Let stand in microwave for additional two minutes.
  • Remove from microwave and flip onto a plate (sometimes it doesn't come out in one uniform ring as shown above...that's ok).
  • Try to enjoy with several other people so you don't eat too much of it.
