Monkey Muffins

By xoXmuffinzXox

They're like monkey bread but made in muffin tins. You can also think of them as cinnamon bun balls. I call them Monkey Balls. The source website has a great step-by-step guide with photos at each step: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/12/monkey-muffins/
She didn't include a dough recipe so I found one on another website that I liked: http://www.food.com/recipe/quick-cinnamon-rolls-no-yeast-293243
