Monkey Bread

recipe for monkey bread

Gooey pull-apart monkey bread is made with canned biscuit dough, cinnamon, sugar, and butter. It’s the best easy breakfast recipe for guests, any time of year!

Prep: 20min

Total: 1h

Yield: 8 serving(s)

Ingredients:

  • 3 cans buttermilk biscuits (the non-flaky ones)
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 to 3 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar

Instruction:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. Open up all three cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters.
  3. Next, combine the white sugar with 2 to 3 teaspoons of cinnamon. (3 teaspoons of cinnamon gives it a fairly strong cinnamon flavor. If you’re not so hot on cinnamon, cut it back to 2 teaspoons.) Dump these into a 1 gallon zip-up bag and shake to mix evenly.
  4. Drop all of the biscuit quarters into the cinnamon-sugar mix. Once all the biscuit quarters are in the bag seal it and give it a vigorous shake. This will get all those pieces unstuck from one another and nicely coated with cinnamon-sugar. Spread these nuggets out evenly in the Bundt pan.
  5. At this point, you’re going to want to melt the two sticks of butter together with 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. This can be light or dark brown sugar. Cook butter-sugar mixture, stirring for a few minutes until the two become one. Once the brown sugar butter has become one color, you can pour it over the biscuits.
  6. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes until the crust is a deep dark brown on top. When it’s finished cooking, remove it from the oven. If you have the willpower, allow it to cool for about 15 to 30 minutes before turning it over onto a plate.

FAQ

What can I use instead of a bundt pan for monkey bread?

Does Monkey Bread Require a Bundt Pan? Though you’ve probably seen many store-bought versions come in the traditional Bundt shape, it’s unnecessary. Monkey bread cooks in a bread pan, a cookie sheet, ramekins, or a loaf pan. If you prefer to use a tube pan, that is fine.

Why do they call it monkey bread?

Monkey bread gets its name by the method in which it is eaten: picking off chunks of buttery, gooey dough with your fingers not unlike a monkey grooming his buddy (which is actually a weird thing to name a food after, if you really think about it.)

Why is my monkey bread doughy?

If the bottom of the pieces that haven’t been exposed is still doughy, the bread needs to bake longer. If it’s fully baked and no stretchy dough appears, it’s ready.

What is monkey bread sauce made of?

You’ll cut the biscuit dough up into pieces. Sugar – You’re going to use a mix of granulated white sugar and brown sugar to coat the biscuit pieces, and then you’ll make a caramel like sauce from butter and more brown sugar that’ll get poured over the monkey bread!
