Shauna's Notes:

This is a fun treat to make and eat! My mom used to make this for me when I was a kid. It would be a special treat when she made it! I love making it now for Thanksgiving morning

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

Monkey Bread is always a great way to brighten a morning!  The aroma when it is baking will wake everyone up and they'll have smiles on their faces.  This recipe is a stand-out, and I especially like the addition of coconut.

I had run out of can biscuits but had can cinnamon rolls so I used them instead. And it really worked well.

what if you have picky eaters in your house and they don't eat nuts or coconut? What's a tasty substitute?

Jennifer, any style biscuits work. These are so good.
Sherry, leave the extras out for the picky eaters. They still turn out scrumptious.
Lorilei, I bet they would.
Happy Cookin'

I am so glad you are all liking this recipe! I remember my mom making it for me when I was a kid, and I still make them now as a treat!

Sherry - You could definitely leave out the nuts and coconut for the picky ones. It's delish even without those! Or you could even do half with nuts and half of the bread without =)

Shauna...you have no idea how my family and friends loved loved this recipe...thanks so much for sharing it with all of us...

**my favorite part just as a side note...other recipes require the dough to rise even over night...and now we know you can just throw it all in the pan and bake...easy easy!
