Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We tested these mini monkey bread muffins with nonstick regular muffin cups (2 3/4 x 1 1/4-inch). Muffin pans and size of cups may vary. If using a shiny metal pan and a smaller cup, be sure to place a large piece of heavy-duty foil on the lower oven rack to catch any caramel that might bubble over.
  • tip 2
    Monkey Bread Minis are best served fresh and warm the same day made.
