Yummy Recipe Monday: Cinnamon Monkey Bread

Cinnamon Monkey Bread 




If you’ve ever heard of or tried monkey bread, you’ll be thrilled to see this recipe. If not, let us let you in a little secret: monkey bread is one of the best breakfast/desserts we’ve ever made.
Basically a cake comprised of mini cinnamon buns, our monkey bread is super easy to make (thanks to refrigerated biscuit dough) and seriously fun, since we get to shake the living daylight out of it to get everything thoroughly coated in a dangerously good cinnamon sugar mixture. If that hasn’t already piqued your interest, we pour a brown sugar glaze over all of our cinnamon balls and then bake it to caramelized perfection. We’re drooling just sitting here, so excuse us while we go to pull ourselves off a piece or ten…






CINNAMON MONKEY BREAD
Serves 8
Ingredients

3 (16 oz.) packages refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 gallon resealable plastic bag

bundt pan


Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350º F and grease a bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Open your biscuit packages and cut each biscuit into quarters.


3. Combine sugar with cinnamon in plastic bag, then seal it and shake to mix the two.




4. Open bag and put all of your biscuit quarters inside.

5. Seal bag, then vigorously shake until cinnamon sugar evenly coats all the pieces of dough.


6. Once your dough is evenly sugared, transfer pieces to bundt pan.

7. In a microwaveable bowl, melt butter and brown sugar together for 1 minute (at intervals of 20-30 seconds).




8. Stir mixture until dark brown, then pour over the dough in your bundt pan. Squish pieces down into the butter mixture so they’re all coated and/or submerged.


9. Place bundt pan on a baking tray, then bake for 35 minutes, or until dough is cooked through to your liking.

10. Remove from oven and invert onto a serving plate.


11. Serve hot and enjoy!

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 10: Confess Him

Image
Romans Chapter 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
