Sticky Buns, Monkey Bread, Gorilla Bread, Cinnamon Rolls, whatever you call them… I prefer Stick-to-MY-Buns…
WARNING: These are NOT on the Cinch Inch Loss plan in accordance with my New Year Challenge. And, they may reverse any weight loss progress you’ve made. BUT, they are d.i.v.i.n.e.
AND, I totally created this version of Mini Gorilla Breads all on my own.
I kind of used the Queen’s regular version here to go by…
Mini Gorilla Breads
Makes 15!
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 8oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbs cinnamon
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 rolls of biscuits (10 each)
- 1 cup nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- zest of 1 orange (optional)
Directions:
- Spray muffin tins or use foil liners
- Sprinkle nuts in the bottom
- Mix cinnamon & granulated sugar together
- Cut cream cheese into 30 pieces
- Melt brown sugar & butter in a small sauce pan until well combined
- Dredge both sides of flat biscuits with the cinnamon/sugar mixture
- Place piece of cream cheese in center of 15 biscuits and fold over to seal c’cheese up. Place in tin
- Sprinkle orange zest on top
- Spoon melted sugar/butter mixture on top of biscuits
- Repeat Steps 6-9

Tips: For the bottom layer, I placed the flattest side down. For the top layer, I placed the flattest side up. To me, it just made it look neater/cleaner.
And how about an inside view?!?
What is one of your favorite sweets?!?
These look amazing. I'm going to make them with my girls! Thx for sharing!
Decided tonight to get on Pininterest because I have heard such great things about it. Well, about the first thing I saw was about your freezer meals. Such a great idea and I will for sure be trying it for my family. But most important saw your testimony about your relationship with Jesus Christ! We are sisters in the Lord!!! I will be checking your site often. Also, saw this Mini Gorilla Breads. Look SOOO yummy! Thanks for the disclaimer about the diets:) I've really gotten into making my own Oatmeal bread, noodles and wanting to make mostly things that I actually know what goes in them. I might try making these with homemade biscuits. Thanks for all your sharing all your great ideas!!
So glad you are here! Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Sis! Love making things from scratch!
I guess my muffin tins are smaller than yours… I made this today, ended up with a GIANT mess!!! Can't wait to try them, they're cooling off right now.
I must have smaller muffin tins than you! I just pulled these out of the oven- they made a GIANT mess! They're cooling off right now… can't wait to try them!
YUM! Came because I saw your freezer cooking recipes on pinterest – pinned

Those look so tasty!
I’ve made money bread before but never thought to fill it, what a fantastic idea
I can not wait to make these… I was just wondering though are they just as good if you only do one biscuit instead of repeating steps 6-9??
