So you know those strawberry shortcake ice creams with the crumbly bits of strawberry crunch on the outside? So I may have come across the crumbs, and yes, you can actually buy them! Now what does one do with strawberry crunch crumbs? Well, obviously make some sort of tasty strawberry sweet! That’s when the idea for this Strawberry Crunch Monkey Bread came to be.

Take it as a breakfast, brunch, or even dessert. This nostalgic twist on monkey bread has to be one of my new favorites. It’s ridiculously easy to make too, just as most monkey breads are. Now, there really wasn’t a whole lot to do in the ways of making this lightened up. But, I did sub out some of the sugars for natural sweeteners.

The strawberry crunch crumbs are part of what makes this Strawberry Crunch Monkey Bread what it is. A quick search online sound find you what you’re looking for! The ones that I used were Yum Crumbs and they come in a lot of fun flavors. No that isn’t a promotion and I wasn’t paid - they’re just what I found and what I used.

This monkey bread reheats and eats well enough. I store mine in the fridge and zap in the microwave for a quick sweet treat or breakfast.
