Chocolate Chip Banana Monkey Bread


Watch the video before you make this, as it gives a super clear visual on how to make this delicious little dessert.  It doesn't look very pretty in the picture, but it's real yummy!

Ingredients:
3 bananas, (1 banana cut into coins, 2 bananas cut into half-coins) 
1 cup dark chocolate chips
3 cans biscuit dough 
1 cup sugar 
3 teaspoons cinnamon
Glaze
2 sticks butter 
1/2 cup brown sugar
Garnish
Banana Coins 
Dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
2. Cut 2 bananas into coins and again in half and set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
4. Cut each biscuit round in half and flatten into rounds. 
5. Stuff each round with one piece of the halved banana coins and two chocolate chips. 
6. Close the round together by pinching at the seam and roll into a ball in your hands.
7. Place the balls in the cinnamon sugar mix and gently toss to coat.
8. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar until one, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.
9. Grease a bundt pan and line the bottom with whole banana coins.
10. Layer half of the balls in the pan and pour half of the glaze on top.
11. Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips over top.
12. Repeat steps 10 and 11.
13. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the crust is a deep dark brown on top. (if the top is browning too much, you can cover it with aluminum foil.) (I definitely had to foil the top.)
14. Remove from oven and allow it to cool or about 15-30 minutes before turning it over onto a plate.
15. Enjoy!
