Monkey Bread

This classic monkey bread recipe is made with buttermilk biscuits baked in a buttery, gooey, irresistible cinnamon sugar sauce. Easy to make with 5 simple ingredients with minimal prep time!

Now that we’re living in the Land of Canned Biscuits again (a.k.a. the United States), I have happily resumed one of my favorite holiday baking traditions — weekend monkey bread! ♡

We always had to put in the extra time to make homemade biscuits from scratch for monkey bread while we were living in Barcelona. It was, of course, delicious, but not quite the simple and nostalgic version I grew up with. On a lazy December morning, I much prefer to hit the ‘easy button’ and let Pillsbury do most of the work for me.

So for anyone else who also craves this throwback sweet treat this time of year, I thought I’d repost the tried-and-true monkey bread recipe that I’ve been making for the past two decades. It’s made with just 5 simple ingredients — canned buttermilk biscuits, melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon — and it’s always so fun and easy to assemble. (Even more special for us right now with cute little toddler hands to help!)

I’ve included some extra options below for various ways to customize the recipe by adding in nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit. Or you can also never go wrong with an extra cream cheese drizzle on top. However you make it, I promise this gooey sweet treat is always a winner. So grab some biscuits and let’s make some monkey bread together!
