This easy birthday breakfast idea is what I would always choose for my birthday. And now my kids ask for it, too.
I am happy to make this easy breakfast recipe because it only takes 5 minutes!
WHY IS IT CALLED MONKEY BREAD?
This tasty treat is called monkey bread because when it is eaten, you pull it apart just like a monkey would pick apart their food.
DOES MONKEY BREAD HAVE TO BE MADE IN A BUNDT PAN?
Making monkey bread in a bundt pan will give it a fancier look and make it easier to pull apart. However, if you don't have a bundt pan or fluted pan, you can definitely use a regular baking dish.
