Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Liberally grease 8 cavities in a standard-size muffin pan with cooking spray; set aside.
- Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into three equal pieces.
- Flatten each piece with the heels of your hands and set aside for a moment.
- Take three miniature marshmallows and dip them into a bowl of melted butter, coating them gently.
- Remove them with a slotted spoon and drop them into the bowl of cinnamon sugar, dredging them until they're coated in cinnamon sugar.
- Place a miniature marshmallow in the middle of each biscuit piece.
- Pinch the biscuit together to completely enclose the marshmallow inside.
- Once the marshmallow is filled within the biscuit piece, gently coat the biscuit pieces in the butter, then roll them carefully in the cinnamon sugar.
- Place three biscuit pieces into one muffin cavity - that's one monkey bread muffin.
- Repeat with remaining marshmallows and biscuits.
- Bake for approx. 11-15 minutes or until muffins are golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to set briefly, about 5-10 minutes, before serving.
- You can enjoy these at room temperature, but I prefer them warm.
- This recipe is very easily doubled!

The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. It's easily adaptable to your preferences and dietary needs.
