Equipment

1 Cutting Board
1 Chefs Knife
2 Medium Bowls
1 Muffin Tin
10 Paper Muffin Liners

Ingredients

16.3 oz Container of Refrigerated Biscuit Dough See Note
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
6 tablespoon Unsalted Vegan Butter, melted and cooled See Note

For the Glaze

⅔ Cup Powdered Sugar
1 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Make the Monkey Bread

Preheat oven to 350* F. Line a muffin tin with 10 paper liners.
Place the biscuits onto a cutting board. Use a chefs knife to cut each biscuit into 6 even triangle.
16.3 oz Container of Refrigerated Biscuit Dough
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Pour the melted vegan butter into another medium bowl.
1 Cup Granulated Sugar, 2 ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 6 tablespoon Unsalted Vegan Butter, melted and cooled
Working 4-5 pieces at a time, place biscuit pieces into the vegan butter, then take them out and shake off the excess and place them into the cinnamon sugar. Toss to coat the pieces in cinnamon sugar, and place them into the lined muffin tin. You will put 4-5 pieces in each liner. Repeat until you have no more biscuit pieces left.
Bake in a 350* F oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the monkey bread just start to get golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack that is fitted over a baking sheet to glaze them.

Make the Glaze

In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, non-dairy milk and vanilla. Whisk until no lumps remain.
⅔ Cup Powdered Sugar, 1 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk, ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the warm mini monkey bread and serve warm!

Notes

I highly recommend Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits. They are accidentally vegan!

Try to find Unsalted Vegan Butter if you can. Country Crock makes a great one!

Make the glaze while the Vegan Mini Monkey Bread is in the oven! That way you can quickly glaze and serve them. They are best eaten warm from the oven.
