    Easy Monkey Bread Recipe

    One morning everyone wanted cinnamon rolls but we didn’t have any and I didn’t feel like making them from scratch. However, I had canned biscuits and came up with this Easy Monkey Bread Recipe.

    It is so tasty and delicious and the kids actually said this was their new favorite thing to eat for breakfast or brunch. It is incredibly cheap to make and so simple that we make this frequently.

    Your family will love this easy idea for breakfast!

    The kids actually started calling this Monkey brains recipe!

    So, I’m not sure why we call this monkey brains except that one of the kids used the name once and it stuck. All of the kids, of course, thought the name was cool. 😉

    It has become a family tradition around here and I love the memories we are making. It is easy enough to make for a school morning but special enough to make for holidays and other special occasions.

    We love this Easy monkey bread recipe and the kids go crazy for it.  You will not believe how simple it is and how little time it takes to put this together.

    Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread is frugal friendly!

    This is a very simple recipe and it makes a wonderfully tasty addition to any breakfast. I always buy store brand biscuits since they are the cheapest.

    They taste very similar to us and at $0.50 a pop, I cannot argue with that. Enjoy!

    Ingredients for Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread:

    • 2 cans biscuits (10 ct)
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ¼ cup melted butter

    How to make Monkey Bread:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Spray an 8″ or 9″ cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
    2. Use kitchen shears to cut biscuits into bite size pieces (I cut my biscuits into 5 or 6 pieces each). Put biscuits into large mixing bowl with a lid.
    3. Add the sugar through cinnamon to the mixing bowl with the biscuits. Place the lid on the bow and shake, shake, shake the cinnamon sugar mixture.

    4. Take the lid off and dump the biscuit mixture into the prepared pan. Pour melted butter over the biscuits.Learn how to make Easy Monkey Bread Recipe for a quick and tasty breakfast idea.

    5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until cooked through in the center. If you push down the center and it is still mushy, cook for another 5 minutes. You can always test the center with a knife, too. Serve warm and enjoy!

    Note- I used an 8″ round pan and my tubes were both 10 biscuits and said 7.5 oz. The size is about 2″ for the biscuit. You could use a loaf pan if you prefer.

    You can also lightly flour the pan.

    It is totally optional but sometimes I make a drizzle for the top with cream cheese and powdered sugar. It goes so well with the sugar and cinnamon.

    You might even want to try Cinnamon Monkey Bread from scratch!

    But I’ll be honest, I love using canned biscuits because it is just so easy. 🙂 Plus, my kids absolutely love it!

    If you do make from scratch, make sure to have a dough hook for your mixer to get the cups of flour mixed easily once you add the egg. Keep in mind the cooking time will increase if making from scratch to 45 minutes as you want the Monkey Brain doubled in size.

    Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread is always a hit!

    The kids request this all the time. Everyone seems to love it.

    We have even made this to take to others. Often when someone has a new baby or recovering from surgery, they bring dinner but breakfast is a great idea too.

    You can make this in a disposable cake pan and take it to someone that could use it. We actually took this to someone recently and they loved it!

    We packed a side of fruit in a little container and some paper plates for them to use. It was a hit and a nice change for them.

    This recipe is so inexpensive and a great way to bless someone without spending a ton of money or time.
