Easy Monkey Bread Recipe


This gooey, cinnamon-sugar pull-apart bread is a family favorite for breakfast or dessert. With soft, buttery dough coated in caramelized goodness, it’s perfect for any gathering or cozy morning.


Ingredients (Serves 10-12)

  • 2 cans (16 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan generously with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon:

    • In a large zip-top bag or bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Coat the Dough:

    • Separate the biscuit dough and cut each piece into quarters. Toss the dough pieces in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
  4. Assemble the Bread:

    • Place the coated dough pieces evenly in the prepared Bundt pan.
  5. Make the Sauce:

    • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until smooth and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture evenly over the dough in the pan.
  6. Bake:

    • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm, and let everyone pull apart their piece!

Tips for Success

  • Add a Twist: Sprinkle in chopped nuts, raisins, or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Prep the bread the night before and bake it fresh in the morning.
  • Reheat: Warm leftovers in the microwave for a quick treat.
