Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread

Welcome to Brunch Week 2024...........

Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures invited us to join her on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week in sharing Brunch Recipes.  Something about Spring makes my thoughts turn to a nice leisurely meal with an assortment of foods suitable for breakfast or lunch and a table decorated with daffodils and tulips.

Many of us enjoy sharing brunch with our moms on Mother's Day coming up next Sunday.  With that in mind, I was happy to join in this event so my readers have plenty of brunch ideas.

With only 3 ingredients and a few minutes of hands-on time, you will have this lovely pull-apart bread as a centerpiece for your Brunch Buffet or Table. 

I will be back on Friday with another Brunch Week recipe but make sure you search #brunchweek on Wednesday to see what the others are sharing that day.
