Chocolate Chip Banana Monkey Bread
A great social piece with flavors of banana and chocolate fused into a soft dough. Perfect to have over tea or coffee, or even as an appetizer.
Ingredients
- 3 bananas 1 cut into coins, 2 cut into half-coins
- 1 cup dark chocolate chip
- 3 cans biscuit dough
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tspn cinnamon
Glaze
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
-
Line the bottom of a bundt cake pan with the full banana coins.
-
In a bowl mix sugar and cinnamon, set aside.
-
Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
-
Cut each biscuit round in half and flatten into rounds.
-
Stuff each round with one piece of the halved banana coins and chocolate chips. Close the round together by pinching at the seam and roll into a ball in your hands.
-
Place the balls in the cinnamon sugar mix and gently toss to coat. Place half the balls in the pan.
-
In a saucepan over medium heat melt the butter and brown sugar until one, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.
-
Pour half of the glaze on top.
-
Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips over top. Then place rest of the balls on top followed by the rest of the glaze.
-
Bake for 40-50 minutes until the crust is a deep dark brown on top. (If the top is browning too much you can cover it with aluminum foil.)
-
Remove from oven and allow it to cool or about 15-30 minutes before turning it over onto a plate.
