Monkey Bread
Warm, soft, and gooey, Monkey Bread is scrumptious and impossible to resist.
A little background on this dessert before I give you the recipe. Monkey Bread has been a tradition in my family for a long time. This is my Grandmothers recipe, that got passed on to my Mother, and now me. This dessert has the ability to bring back memories, and the right stuff to keep creating new ones.
Monkey Bread is so easy and your kids will love to help you make this. That may be the one reason why I just can’t stop making this pick a part, perfect recipe. Great for breakfast, a snack after lunch, or a dessert to serve after dinner with coffee. Monkey Bread is one recipe you positively have to add to your collection.
Ingredients:
- 3 Tubes of 10 pk biscuits
- 2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 2 C. Sugar
- 1 Stick of Butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a bundt pan. In a large plastic Ziploc bag mix 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Remove biscuits from their tubes and cut each biscuit in half, and then in fourths. Place one can of cut biscuits into the Ziploc bag and shake to cover. Remove the pieces and place into the bundt pan, repeat process until complete. In a saucepan on medium low heat melt 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp. Cinnamon. Stir until boiling remove from heat and pour over the biscuits. Place in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and eat while it is still warm.
There are of course always variations different things you can add to your monkey bread. I have heard of people pouring a pack of Jello instant pudding in the bottom of the bundt pan before they place the biscuits in. Nuts (any variety,) is great to add to this dish, again just pour into the bottom of the bundt pan before you add the biscuits.
Monkey Bread is one recipe that is sure to become a favorite in your home. As always here at Bakedblog, you can get this recipe printed out on a neat recipe card, just go to the recipe page.

I used to make your version untilI found this one:

Trust me… try it. Makes it 10 TIMES more amazing!!
That sounds good, and I love Paula, but mine is easier, less steps. I think that is what I love about this recipe, such an easy and fast dish to make.
Yours does sound faster! I haven’t made this in years! Probably literally 30 years! We had this recipe from my elementary school cook book. And for a few Christmas mornings when I was a kid I had the great idea to make this. It would take forever, because I would individually dip each piece in the ingredients (why we never thought to shake all at once in baggies I don’t know - maybe they didn’t have them back then - lol) But everyone would be waiting for breakfast on Christmas until I made this (and my mother made us eat first before presents) so everyone would get mad at the waiting on the Monkey bread, so I finally gave up making it! I have thought about it here and there and remember how delicious it is! Maybe I’ll try it again, I’m sure my kids would love it! (Hope you don’t mind the long story, like you said it does bring up memories - that is mine about it!)
Oh man I haven’t had monkey bread since I lived in the sorority house years ago. I loved it when they made this. Since it involves biscuits I think it will go over well with Mike so I’ll have to make it really soon. Thanks for the recipe!
Just put these into the oven, but using brown sugar… i’m a little scared that that was a bad idea. Will report in 30 min!
Canned biscuits, sugar and butter….Instead of name and e-mail…peeps should have to sign in here by Height/weight and BMI !
Can you say OINK!
with brown sugar was a success!

Shane,
Great news, I didnt know this would work as well with Brown sugar, but that does sound great.
How was the texture?
and thanks for the glass houses comment, that was LOL!
You didnt by chance take any pictures of yours did you?
take care

Dessert??? I have only had Monkey Bread as a breakfast dish. YUM
First of all, this looks discusting.
Canned biscuts are not healthy and slopping on the sweets and butter just makes it really unhealthy.
I wouldn’t eat this and I would not give my kids this fattening artery cloging junk food.
Try giving them some fresh fruits and healthy snacks!
Give them a healthy start in life, not a junky buttery one.
First I want to thank you for commenting on my page. While I don’t appreciate your tone, I respect your opinion, and will always listen to commentary be it negative or positive.
Bakedblog is about parenting cooking, and baking. This article happened to be about a baked good, you may disagree in the contents of the recipe, and you certainly have the right to not feed your children this.
I provide my child with a well rounded diet of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and yes the occasional dessert. I try to teach him moderation, and a love for all foods.
Maybe this recipe would be more to your liking http://bakedblog.com/banana-nut-muffins-healthy/
I do try to have some healthy recipes with in this site, and if you take a chance to browse the archives you just may find something that would fit your healthy life style, or at least a recipe you could make some changes to.
Thanks

I love Monkey Bread but have never even thought of making it myself. I’ve added it to my list of recipes to try while we are out for summer vacation. Thanks for another great find.
This is why Americans are getting fatter by the minute.
Yea you know the funniest thing happened the other day I was walking around town and I saw all these people eating monkey bread, then I had to curse myself for making Americans fatter.
I brought some monkey bread home from the grocery store and everyone looked at me like I was nuts.
I have a similar posting on my own cooking blog. My family has always called it Pluck It Cake, because it’s irresistable to pluck off the lovely little balls of dough.
Interestingly, we always make the recipe with brown sugar, and more butter.
For Christmas yesterday, I made it the way one of my readers suggested, dipping the biscuit pieces into a sugar/cinnamon mixture before layering in the pan. It was incredible. I still like the original version, but doing it that way made the cake a lot more moist.
