Description
This Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread is a sticky, buttery, pull-apart treat that doubles as a dessert or decadent brunch centerpiece. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, it’s a crowd-pleasing, cozy favorite made with refrigerated cinnamon roll dough.
Ingredients
-
½ cup white sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 (12.4 ounce) package refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing (such as Pillsbury)
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
Optional: cream cheese icing drizzle or crushed pecans for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a bundt pan.
Step 2: Mix the Magic
In a zip-top bag, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Shake well to mix.
Step 3: Chop & Coat
Open the cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters. Toss the pieces into the cinnamon-sugar bag and shake until coated.
Step 4: Layer and Butter Up
Place the coated dough pieces in the prepared pan. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 30–35 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
Step 6: Ice It, Baby
Warm the included icing and drizzle over the monkey bread. Add extra icing or pecans if desired.
Notes
You can prep this the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
Add dollops of cream cheese between layers for an extra creamy finish.
Leftovers can be wrapped and frozen for up to 2 months—reheat in the oven for best results.
