And knowing me, I can’t just make plain old monkey bread.  I always have to think outside the box because I like to be difficult.  I was always that kid that would be eating homemade BLTs while everyone was eating pizza at the lunch table.

    OH MY! I pinned these in a heart beat, but when I read the ingredients I loved them even more! I thought I’d never be able to have monkey bread, but these just went straight to the top of my “to make list.” Can you get cassava flour at the grocery store or is it something I need to order? I’ve been lots of people post about it, but still haven’t really looked for it.

    Thank you for pinning and for your kind words <3 I hope you make them! I got it off-line and haven't seen it in any stores yet but maybe whole foods has it? I would try ordering it offline because it's probably cheaper 🙂
