Hello Everyone!

Monkey Bread in a Jar – DIY

Now, I know A to Zebra isn’t exactly a “food blog” but what’s up with everyone baking in jars these days?
I’m pretty sure that’s it possible to put just about anything in a jar and make it look super yummy and super cute.
From cupcakes, pies, and cheesecakes to brownies, blondies and s’mores… the possibilities are endless!  So, how about some 
Monkey Bread in a Jar??
I vote yes.
These are just too yummy looking not to share!

I found this idea over on babble.com HERE and thought it looked like a MUST-TRY.
It looks simple, kid friendly, yummy, cute, and simple.  (Oh, wait… I already said that…) 
Anytime you bake in a jar make sure your jar is thoroughly cleaned and sprayed super well with some cooking spray.
Here’s the recipe:

Monkey Bread 
{baked in 8 ounce mason jars}
Makes 4 servings
What you’ll need:

10 refrigerated biscuits – cut into quarters
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mason jars with cooking spray and place them into a deep sided baking tray.

2. Into a bowl, add: sugars, and cinnamon. Whisk together to combine. Place cut biscuits pieces into sugar mixture. Toss to combine and coat well.
3. Evenly distribute coated biscuit pieces between the jars. Adding a little extra of the sugar mixture as  you go. Fill only 3/4 of the way up the jar {to allow for bread to rise and not overflow}
4. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes until monkey bread has risen and is golden and bubbly. Allow jars to cool slightly prior to serving.

 
So now who’s going to make these this weekend???
