    Easy Pull Apart Monkey Bread

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    Monkey bread is one of my favorite easy and sweet breakfast recipes. This Easy Pull Apart Monkey Bread recipe uses canned biscuits. It’s a quick recipe you can have in the oven in less than 10 minutes! 35 minutes later you’ll pull out this morning breakfast treat.

    For this recipe I used Bailey’s Sweet Italian Biscotti Cream to coat the dough in before baking. I knew it would make a fabulous Sweet Italian Biscotti Monkey Bread. I used to mix that creamer with iced coffee all day long! It’s addicting! P.S. This creamer is non-alcoholic. Using this creamer in the monkey bread recipe results in an even sweeter breakfast bread.

    Monkey Bread

    Easy Pull Apart Monkey Bread

    Monkey Bread is basically a big bundt pan of gooey cinnamon rolls. Do I need to say more? The dough balls are coated in vanilla, nutmeg, and creamer and then a brown sugar butter sauce is poured on top. This creates the sweet and sticky pull apart bites monkey bread is known for. You can top your monkey bread with vanilla icing and serve pull apart style for easy sharing among friends at brunch..

    Ingredients for Easy Pull Apart Monkey Bread

    Ingredients for Sweet Italian Biscotti Monkey Bread
    • Baileys Sweet Italian Biscotti Cream
    • Eggs
    • Ground Cinnamon
    • Vanilla
    • Nutmeg
    • Canned Biscuits
    • Butter
    • Brown Sugar
    • Powdered Sugar

    Four Parts to Monkey Bread

    • Monkey Bread Dough: For this recipe we are using simple canned biscuits. If you have a favorite biscuit dough, you could easily replace the canned biscuits with it.
    • Monkey Bread Dough Coating: This is the creamer, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
    • Brown Sugar Butter Sauce for Monkey Bread: This gets poured onto the bread right before placing in the oven.
    • Monkey Bread Icing: This recipe just uses a simple sprinkle of powdered sugar, but you could easily whip up a confectioners sugar milk combo for icing to drizzle on top.

    So I gathered some ingredients and went to work. This entire recipe took under ten minutes to put together then baked in the oven for about 35 minutes. But wow! What a great snack or an even better morning breakfast treat.

    How to Make Monkey Bread

    1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
    2. Whisk together cream, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
    3. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Dip each biscuit in the cream mixture and place in the tube pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and distributed in the pan.
    4. Combine the butter and brown sugar and pour evenly over biscuit pieces.
    5. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in the center.
    6. Let monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
    1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
    2. Whisk together cream, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
    3. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Dip each biscuit in the cream mixture and place in the tube pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and distributed in the pan.

    7. Pull apart to serve!

    Expert Tips

    • Work quickly with the dough. You will get a better rise with cold dough than room temperature
    • Make sure your Bundt pan can hold about 12 cups of ingredients. You don't want your dough to rise over the edge and spill out into the oven.
    • Grease the inside of your Bundt pan really well. Be sure to get in all the cracks.
    • You can make the monkey bread dough ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to an hour before baking.
    • Don’t have Bailey’s creamer? You can replace it with your favorite flavored coffee creamer. Or you can leave out the creamer and coat the biscuit pieces in the same egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla mixture. It will still turn out gooey and sweet!
