Instructions:

    Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Sugar-Cinnamon Coating:

    • In a medium bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

    Cut the Biscuit Dough:

    • Open the biscuit dough cans and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.

    Coat the Dough Pieces:

    • Roll each quartered piece of dough in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

    Layer the Dough:

    • Place the coated dough pieces into the muffin tin. Layer them until the muffin cups are about 3/4 full.

    Prepare the Glaze:

    • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully mixed.

    Pour the Glaze:

    • Drizzle the glaze evenly over the dough pieces in the muffin tin, ensuring they are well-coated.

    Bake the Muffins:

    • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Cool and Serve:

    • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
    • This method will give you delicious, gooey, and cinnamon-sugar-drenched Monkey Bread Muffins that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack!
