Skillet Berry Monkey Bread

It’s that time of year for fresh berries! Locally, they aren’t quite ready but I’m happy to see them in my grocery stores from parts of the country where they’re in season. If I had to pick a favorite berry, it would definitely be blackberries because they remind me of my childhood picking wild ones. My newest recipe, Skillet Berry Monkey Bread, is bursting with fresh berries and more. It’s so delicious!

This is the monkey bread of your dreams! Canned biscuits are cut into pieces, dipped in butter, then generously coated in cinnamon and sugar. They are placed in a buttered cast iron skillet then sprinkled with fresh blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. As it bakes, the bottom of the biscuits get syrupy from the sugar and berries – my favorite part. After baking, the Skillet Berry Monkey Bread is drizzled with an easy lemon cream cheese drizzles. To die for!

How to Make Skillet Berry Monkey Bread

First, cut the eight biscuits into fourths. Then melt one stick of butter and make the cinnamon sugar mixture. Add a little butter to the skillet as well to “grease” the bottom of it.

Dip each piece of biscuit into the butter and coat all over. Then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss to make sure it is generously covered. Place pieces in the buttered skillet.

Sprinkle with 1/3 cup each blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. If for some reason, you want to omit one of the berries or use all of one kind, just make sure to use one cup total. Next, bake at 375 for about 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are baked through.

The lemon cream cheese drizzle is very easy to make but I forgot to take process pictures. In a bowl, use a hand mixer to blend 4 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, zest of one lemon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice together. Add more lemon juice or a little milk if needed to create desired pourable consistency.

Now it’s time to devour! My Skillet Berry Monkey Bread is easily one of the top recipes that I have ever created. I have had this idea in my head for a long time and I’m beyond happy with how it turned out. I know you’ll love it too!
