The 30-Minute Cooking from Frozen Cookbook

This recipe comes from The 30-Minute Cooking From Frozen Cookbook by Carole Jones (MyKitchenEscapades.com). This cookbook has 100 delicious recipes that will save you time and money by using some frozen foods in the ingredients for the recipe (no pre-thawing required!) Carole shows you how to make affordable, wholesome meals for you and your family in less than 30 minutes. You’ll also learn what to look for in the frozen food aisle and how to maximize nutrition using frozen ingredients.

I don’t usually use a lot of frozen foods in my cooking, but I like this cookbook because it calls for using “some” frozen ingredients in the recipe. Each recipe calls one or two or a few frozen ingredients that will “shortcut” the recipe and make it easier and quicker to prepare. Here are a few recipes in the book that I’ve bookmarked to make: Peach Cobbler Oatmeal, Quick Breakfast Pizza, Breakfast Tater Tot Casserole, Vegetable Fried Rice, Sweet Pea and Bacon Salad, Baked Barbecue Chicken Sliders, Biscuit-Topped Chicken Pot Pie, Garlic Butter Cauliflower Pizza, Pot Sticker Soup, Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes, Baked Shrimp Scampi, Greek Avocado Salmon Salad, Loaded Waffle Fry Nachos, Roasted Vegetable Tacos, Peach Pie Roll-Ups, and Grilled S’Mores.

How to make Monkey Bread Muffins:

Sugar and cinnamon are combined in a bowl.

Frozen biscuit dough is cut into pieces. You can defrost the biscuit dough in the microwave (or let it defrost at room temperature).

You will dip each piece of biscuit in melted butter and then place into a muffin cup. Use a 6-cup muffin tin. Nine dipped biscuit pieces will go into each muffin cup- to create six Monkey Bread Muffins. If you only have a traditional 12-cup muffin tin, use 4 or 5 pieces per muffin cup.

While the muffins are baking, you can make the glaze (a simple mix of powdered sugar and milk).

When your Monkey Bread Muffins come out of the oven, drizzle them with the glaze. 

Serve and eat them while they’re warm and wonderful. You can pull them apart and experience a gooey and delicious treat. I highly recommend that you double the recipe to make 12 muffins instead of 6. Monkey Bread Muffins would also be perfect to make for holiday mornings. Enjoy!
