These easy monkey bread muffins use refrigerated biscuit dough cooked in muffin pans. My son, who calls these "monkey sins," loves to shake the biscuit pieces with the spiced sugar. I love that I can make a few of these at a time and eat them warm without waiting for a big enough crowd to justify a full tube pan.
