Monkey bread muffins, small balls of dough with a delicious caramelized cinnamon sugar layer. A delicious sticky delicacy.
A sweet delicacy is to be put on our Christmas breakfast table and every year I try something new. This year I choose monkey bread muffins. Never heard of?
Which can! It is a recipe of American origin, which around 1950 for the first appeared in the magazines. Since that time it has become a real hit in the United States, where you can buy at the fair. It is often eaten as a sweet snack or dessert. But somehow it's most famous in America and not abroad.
And that's a shame because it really is very nice. And that is why I am going to share the recipe for monkey bread muffins with you. Maybe a nice extra on your Christmas breakfast table!
It's a good taste!
