This ooey-gooey easy cinnamon-sugar monkey bread recipe is as simple as it is delicious!

Midwest Life and Style - Easy Cinnamon-Sugar Monkey Bread Recipe

It was always a favorite treat of mine growing up. I remember the anticipation as the sweet smell of the bread filled the kitchen air. (I had a thing for carbs and sweets even back then!)

Ooey-Gooey Cinnamon-Sugar Monkey Bread

The monkey bread was devoured as soon as it came out of the oven, followed immediately by requests for my mom to make more. Now, I enjoy making it for my own family.

Ingredients

This is a great recipe to involve kids. With just five basic ingredients, it’s perfect for a casual Sunday brunch or for any time you are craving something sweet.

Ooey-Gooey Cinnamon-Sugar Monkey Bread
Biscuits, butter, cinnamon, and sugar are all you need for this recipe.

Cinnamon-Sugar Monkey Bread Ingredients

  • 3 tubes buttermilk biscuits (8 ounces each)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup browns sugar (packed)

Directions

To begin, preheat the oven to 350℉. While the oven preheats, generously grease a bundt pan with butter or cooking spray. Then, open the tubes of biscuits and cut each biscuit into four, bite-sized pieces.

Next, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and mix well. Gently drop the pieces of dough into the bowl and cover each with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Then, layer the dough pieces evenly in the bundt pan.

Making the Cinnamon-Sugar Monkey Bread
Layering the biscuits in the bundt pan. Besides eating the monkey bread, this step is my girls’ favorite part of the process. 

Then, in a small saucepan, add the butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Stir gently and bring to a boil. When the sugar is dissolved, drizzle the sauce over the bundt pan.

Place the bundt pan into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the monkey bread is done. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and allow the monkey bread to rest for approximately 5 minutes. Then, invert the bundt pan onto a large plate and serve the monkey bread warm.
