Lemon Monkey Bread
Oh my goodness, this Lemon Monkey Bread gives a whole new meaning to Monkey Bread! First of all, I apologize about the picture quality. I tell you, I almost didn’t get a picture at all because these were getting eaten so fast! Instead of the sticky cinnamon bread that Monkey Bread usually refers to, this treat is light and lemony, with a nice sugar glaze. I think this Lemon Monkey Bread would serve well as breakfast, brunch, dessert, or even alongside dinner. My lemon tree has about had it’s fill of lemons for the year, but if I can go find another one or two, I think I will be making this again. This recipe is adapted from Baker Lady.

I know so little about how lemons grow… I guess I kinda thought they were a year round crop. Silly me, we can’t grow them up here – jealous!
