Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place paper liners into a muffin tin.
PREP MONKEY BREAD MUFFINS:
Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut each biscuit into 6 pieces and put them in a large Ziplock bag.
Mix the granulated sugar and the cinnamon
Shake a few biscuit pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are all coated.
Put four pieces of dough in each muffin liner.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave.
Add the brown sugar and maple flavoring to the butter and stir until combined.
Spoon the mixture over the muffins until it’s all used up.
BAKE AND COOL MONKEY BREAD MUFFINS:
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and baked through. Cover with aluminum foil to keep the muffins from burning for the last few minutes, if necessary. Ensure the muffins’ middle part is cooked before taking them out of the oven.
Move the muffins to a wire rack to cool while you make the glaze.
MAKE THE GLAZE:
Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and maple flavoring in a small bowl until smooth.
GLAZE AND SERVE:
Drizzle the glaze over the muffins and serve.
Notes
Make sure the top of each biscuit is covered with the butter mixture. If it’s not, the tops will become crusty. The butter helps keep everything nice and soft.
You can keep your monkey bread muffins in the muffin liner or take them out before you glaze them. It’s entirely up to you.
