Cinnamon Monkey Bread

It’s the weekend!  Last weekend I made this Easy Cinnamon Butter Monkey Bread – a request from Mr. Picky Eater, and it was fantastic.  We munched and munched all morning long until it was all gone.  We needed it as we have been busy as bees around the house.  We generally do not pay much attention to Big Trash month in our town – possibly picking up an item here or there – but for some reason, this month has been a huge and incredibly rewarding time as we have found more curbside treasures than you can imagine.  The weather has held so we’ve done many repurpose and upcycle projects at the same time using the Krylon prize pack I won back in July.  Do you remember?  I won eight cases (6 cans each case) of Krylon MAXX paint. I was chosen randomly among thousands of Face Book Commenters on their Face Book page.  They hold the contest each month so you should enter!  a retail value of over $300 by my estimation using the price of the cans at our local Wal-Mart.  A photo of what we received is below and that’s the paint we used on all our projects.

Big Trash month is for the entire month of October and we are only three weeks in – there are two more left so no telling what we will come up but for now I hope you will enjoy all our before and after photos and then the really tasty and easy pull apart monkey bread.

We found the Patio Chairs

Then we found this chair

See how the seat was torn up?  We just used foam and material to cover it.

What do you think?  We have more to come and I’ll share those with you next month after they are complete. We had huge success this weekend as well – with two more to go so I may be sharing our projects clear up to Christmas!

Now, let’s make those little nuggets of cinnamon-y joy!

Easy Cinnamon Butter Monkey Bread

Ingredients:

2 cans of HOMESTYLE (not the layered kind) big biscuits

½ Cup White Sugar

1 Cup packed Brown Sugar

1 Tablespoon ground Cinnamon

1 Stick (1/2 Cup) of melted Butter

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325F

Spray an angel food pan or bundt pan with non-stick spray

Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces like this:

Cutting up the biscuits

Put White Sugar and Cinnamon into a big Ziploc bag, add the biscuit pieces and shake, shake, shake!

Shake, shake, shake!

Take out the biscuit pieces and place them around in the pan.

Put the coated biscuits into a fluted pan

Mix the melted butter and brown sugar until dissolved.

Pour over top of the biscuits. Cover with foil.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, just get it over most of it.

Bake for 35 – 40 minutes until biscuits are done.  I cooked mine for 25 minutes with foil then took it off so it could brown for the last 10 minutes.

Take out of the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes then flip pan over onto serving dish and serve!

Makes a lovely presentation, doesn’t it?

Wasn’t that easy?  Now, grab some biscuits and get to baking!

    I’m ready for some yummy monkey bread! I have to make 1/2 batch, though because hubby doesn’t eat it. (I would eat it all no matter how big!). I’ve never heard of Big Trash month. Care to explain?!

      Sure – In our town, in April and October it’s Big Trash month. Our trash is picked up on Tuesday so we have the 2nd Saturday in Oct and April. On that Saturday morning, we get to set out all our Big Trash that we want taken away – Broken TVs, Fridges, Washers and some people set out perfectly good furniture or broken furniture that we can make perfectly good repurposed furniture out of. Kids outside swings and climbing toys are also a big thing. So it runs for 1 full week for each area of town – people put stuff out every night beginning on Sunday night and it’s free for whomever wants to pick it up until the trash truck comes by on your designated Saturday morning. In OKC, they have it once per month for the entire city. So – all that stuff above, we picked up curbside (for free) and made new or improved items out of them. We also got 3 brand new (still on the roll and in the plastic) area rugs ranging in size from 8’x10′ to 70’x 100′. When we opened them they were gorgeous and not in weird patterns or colors. Most all this stuff we will sell at the flea market in November and December.

    You two are so inventive when it comes to repurposing castoffs into something others will enjoy. Speaking of enjoying, I know I would enjoy some of that monkey bread.

    You have so many wonderful projects – I think my favorite is the shelf made from a fan.

    Kelli, I love all these makeovers! I am still super jealous of your winning that stuff. You’re set for at least 3 months ;). My favorite is the coffee table with the glass! Looks like something I need for my family room! 🙂

    This was one of the first things we learned to make…in the microwave. My sister and I would have made this everyday, let alone the weekend, when we were growing up! Love all your up-cycled stuff!
