Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 12 cup muffin tin with non-stick spray, (I suggest using non-stick muffin tin to prevent sticking!)

Open up both cans of crescent dough, and cut each triangle into 3 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece of dough into 3 equal-sized small balls, totaling 24 balls per pack of crescent rolls. (Note: balls should be smaller than golf balls, but big enough that about 4 balls will fit into each muffin tin).

Combine the stevia/splenda (or whatever sugar substitute you choose) with 2 tbs of cinnamon in a small bowl. Toss the dough balls in the cinnamon-‘sugar’ mix until the balls are well coated.

Next, melt the butter in microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds, Add the syrup & cinnamon and mix

Place four balls into each individual muffin tin.

Pour the butter-syrup mixture over each muffin tin, until the dough balls are covered in the syrup.

Bake for 15- 20 minutes, or until a caramelized crust forms on the top of each little monkey bread.

Remove from the oven, and let cool for about 15 minutes. Use a knife to remove the edges. Enjoy!
