Mini Monkey Bread Muffins

With just two ingredients, these mini monkey bread muffins are baked in a muffin tin pan and make the perfect sweet treat at breakfast, brunch, or dessert!

I don’t know what’s come over me the past few weeks, but all I want it sweets! Not in the candy bar or chewy sour form. But sweets as in carb-o-licious, baked goods form! And with Mother’s Day right around the corner I’ve already started thinking about what kind of sweet treats I can indulge in [or at least have a serving or two of]. I’ve made my menu requests—which really means I’ll be cooking if we stay in— and these mini monkey bread muffins have made the list!

In my opinion, mini monkey bread muffins are the ideal breakfast or brunch option for Mother’s Day— or any holiday or special occasion for that fact. Why? Well for starters, my husband and soon-to-be-kitchen-helping kiddos can make these. Without supervision from Mom! Plus, they are easy. And any easy baked good with a simple shortcut [i.e. using store bought cinnamon rolls] is a winner in my book. You know I’m not a fan of the 9-step, 10-ingredient baked good… but I’ll eat whatever you’re baking if you don’t mind sharing!

So if you’re looking for a special treat to show Mom how much you love her or need to give your better half a hint hint sort of recipe, consider these mini monkey bread muffins. Did I mention they also have fresh apples in them?! As my husband would say, “the dietitian is always adding a fruit or vegetable to our meals!”

Anyone else cooking or baking something sweet for Mom next weekend?!
