Ingredients

For the Monkey Bread:

  • 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough

  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Glaze:

  • Reserved icing from cinnamon roll cans

  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a Bundt pan or round baking dish with non-stick spray.

  2. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
    In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

  3. Assemble the Monkey Bread:
    Open the cinnamon roll cans and separate the rolls. Cut each roll into 4-6 pieces.
    Dip each piece into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
    Layer the coated pieces evenly in the prepared pan.

  4. Bake:
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Make the Glaze:
    In a small bowl, mix the reserved icing from the cinnamon roll cans with 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and pourable.

  6. Serve:
    Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate. Drizzle with the glaze and serve warm.


Notes

  • Add chopped nuts or raisins between the layers for extra texture and flavor.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.

  • For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or extra cinnamon on top.
