Monkey Bread

I remember making Monkey Bread in junior high school and I thought this would be a great recipe to make with my young children (2,4,& 6 yrs old). This was a great kid participation recipe. My oldest son said, "This is the best bread I've tasted in my whole life!" I held myself back from revealing to him that it was so good because of the tons of sugar and butter. :) I used three jumbo cans of buttermilk biscuits. This was a little too much for the bundt pan. They rose up higher than the pan and some of the sugary mixture dripped in my oven. I used real butter and left out the nuts. I started off putting everything in a big plastic bag, but the bag broke from the weight. I transferred the contents to a huge bowl and mixed the pieces together with my hands. I did not grease my non-stick bundt pan thinking I wouldn't have a problem getting it out. The bottom third of the bread did not come out on its own. It was a good thing the appearance of the finished product didn't matter. I would highly recommend this recipe.

There are lots of monkey breads recipes out there--some are identical, some have slight variations. We just made this recipe for Christmas breakfast (we make monkey bread every year), and we all agreed that THIS monkey bread was the best ever!

I wanted to try a different recipe for Monkey Bread and I'm I tried this one. Made exactly as stated. The smell of the bread baking was killing us. We were picking at it while it was cooling. Excellent flavor and easy to make.

This tasted delicious but it came out dryer than I thought. not likethe picture at all. I followed the recipe exactly as written except poured a little bit of the sauce half way through. The top which was the bottom while baking is dry and not gooey like I was hoping.... Very easy recipe tho and will make again maybe making more of the butter/sugar sauce.

This was my 1st time making Monkey Bread and it was amazing. I made it as the recipe is written, only I added 1/2 a cup more nuts. This recipe is already one of my favorites! Thanks for posting!

Monkey bread is my favorite! It was gone so fast I think everyone in the house loved it too. Thanks for posting a recipe for this! (I made this without the chopped pecans)

We absolutely loved this. I took the rest of it after my Dh and I had a late night snack, to my sister's house and came back with an empty plate. All the kids loved it. We heated bits for just a few seconds in the microwave and it tasted like we had just baked it. I used 2 packages of Grands Biscuits and cut each biscuits into 6 pieces. I also put the pecans in the pan before anything else. I was thinking about putting half the biscuits in the pan then half the butter mixture and repeating, because it was a bit dry in some spots in the middle. Thanks so much carolinafan for a recipe we will be using whenever we get the urge for something cinnamonny. UPDATE: I have also eliminated the nuts and added 1/2 to 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter to the topping. My dh really likes it this way.

I made this for my son's birthday breakfast this morning. We all loved it! (especially him) I just used a 9 by 13 pan. I usually make a recipe similar to this with frozen bread dough but I love the ease of this one because you don't have to make it ahead of time. It will become my new birthday and Christmas breakfast recipe. Thanks!

This recipe is awesome! I also added half of the brown sugar and butter in the middle as some have suggested. Will definitely make this again!

Very good recipe. I took another reviewers suggestion and add half the butter/brown sugar mixture in the middle of the pan and poured the rest on top. Yummy. I too didn't add pecans since I was making for DD and her friends and wasn't sure if any of them were allergic to nuts, but next time I make it for just my family I will add the nuts. Thank you for posting.

This was super yummy! The brown sugar/butter mixture once baked was just like caramel!! As on person suggested I poured in some of the "sauce" mid way through layering. Another option would be to dip the biscuit pieces in butter then rolling in sugar just so add more moisture to the middle while baking. Thanks for posting!!

This was so yummy! I used 4 cans instead of 3 and real butter. The only thing I would have changed was to add the brown sugar mixture halfway through the layering process and then added the remaining amount at the end. It was a little dry on the bottom/middle, but still tasted very good and was soooo easy!

I made this for my son to eat for breakfast on his way out to school. It was gone in no time! I also let my other family try it and they wanted the recipe for their children as well. Great recipe, easy and a HUGE hit. I will be making this often!

Love this recipe! My mom used to make this delicious treat for us as kids because it was cheap and there was plenty for many servings among 3 children! I never got her recipe, but this one is as close as it gets! I didn't use nuts as we don't prefer them. I also experimented with a Watkins product, Cinna-Cream Sprinkles, instead of all 2 tsp of cinnamon. It made the bread have a different but wonderful cinnamon and creamy icing taste!! I don't own a bundt pan (on my Christmas list), but made this in a casserole dish and it was just fine! DH loved it! Thanks for the recipe and completing my baking Sunday!
