Easter Lemon Monkey Bread Recipe

Kids love to make this really fun and easy recipe.  We used pre-packaged
lemon pudding mix combined with fresh lemon zest for extra flavor.  Then
we finished off the monkey bread with a light lemon glaze.

This monkey bread is simple to make. With an adult's help, kids can make 

this in less than an hour. To save time, it could also be assembled the night 

before, and stored in the refrigerator to bake the next morning. 

We start with two tubes of Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers Butter 

Tastin’ biscuits and ¾ cup melted butter.

 

Then combine 1 cup packed brown sugar and a 1 oz package of 

lemon-flavored pudding mix. To this, add 1 tablespoon lemon 

zest (the zest of about 1 lemon). Mix well with your fingers or a fork. 

Next, carefully cut the biscuits into quarters and place in the bowl of 

melted butter; toss well to coat. Remove the buttered biscuits one by 
one and roll in the sugar mixture.

Place these biscuit pieces in a well-greased fluted tube pan, using non-stick 

cooking spray.   Kids love this part!  When you are all done, bake the bread 

at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and not doughy.

While the bread is baking, you can make your lemon glaze. Just combine 
1 cup powdered sugar, 2 to 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 to 2 drops 
of yellow food coloring in a mixing bowl. Mix well and then set aside.

After your monkey bread comes out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10 

minutes,and then turn it upside down onto a serving platter. While the 

bread is still warm, drizzle the icing on top. 

Then serve your warm Lemon Monkey Bread. You can cut the bread 

with a knife...or let your family pull it apart with their fingers!

Enjoy!
