My First Review! Muffin Monkey Bread

So here it is, my first recipe off of pinterest (Monkey Bread Muffins) and I loved it!  I actually got this recipe from the bakerlady blog after seeing someone else has posted it on pinterest.
Super easy especially if you have left over bread dough or buy a tube of it from the store. If your in a supermom mood, go right ahead and make yourself some basic bread dough =) I myself wanted a quick fix, so I purchased a tube of bread stick dough from the store. It was just enough to fill my muffin tin (18).


*Warning- once you start eating you can't stop so be prepared to go do some running or jumping jacks.

You will need- cinnamon, sugar, butter, vanilla and bread dough.
Directions- Preheat over to 375...
  1.  In all the muffin cups put about a 1/2tea of butter, about 1 tea of sugar, and then 1/4ish tea of cinnamon.
  2.  Next you will want to make 3 walnut size balls for each muffin cup. Make sure they are touching some what.
  3. Now you will want to repeat the 1st step for all the cups, the whole butter, sugar and cinnamon routine. After that I added a splash of vanilla to each cup.

Now place these bad boys in the over for about 10min or so at 375. Keep an eye on them so you don't "over-bake" them.

I also made a basic frosting for them because come on who doesn't want that extra sugar?! I made this while they baked...
Ingredients: 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 2ounces cream cheese, 2tbl butter, splash or two of vanilla, about a tea or so of milk (maybe more)

Directions: So my directions said to have the butter and cream cheese softened. However I am lazy and took these right out of the fridge. I threw all the ingredients together in my stand mixer and turned it on low for a few mins and ta da! I had myself a frosting for those delicious morsels of goodness. It isn't really runny so you have to do some work to get them on the monkey bread. I used a spatula and just smeared it on.
