It’s spring! Finally! And all week it’s…raining! After the winter we’ve had, I’m not surprised, although the last few weeks of sun has me thirsty for more sun and 70s.


With spring comes Easter and one of my favorite seasons: strawberry season. We get strawberries all year round here in California, but in the winter they don’t taste very good. In spring and summer they taste amazing and we buy pint after pint and I make things like strawberry shortcake pie, cake, and lush. And now, I make MONKEY BREAD!

Monkey bread is a serious weakness for me. It’s something I can’t even have around unless I have company because I’ll grab a bite here, a bite there, and then before I know it the entire loaf is gone.


I love it because it tastes so good (bread + cinnamon sugar + butter + brown sugar can’t be beat) but also because it’s so easy to make. It’s the perfect easy brunch recipe for any Sunday or holiday. Normally I just make a basic monkey bread for Christmas and holidays but this time I decided to add strawberries for a nice spring touch. Plus, if I add the fruit to the pastry, that makes it healthy…right? #dontanswerthat


The basic recipe stays the same, except you layer fresh chopped berries in the pan with the biscuits. Once it bakes it is full of cinnamon and berry flavor with a rich caramel-y sauce. But I don’t stop there…I had to make a nice creamy glaze. Strawberries and cream are better than just strawberries, don’t you think?
