Ingredients Needed:

  • 3 cans (17.5 oz each) large cinnamon rolls (like Grands)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • Nonstick cooking spray

How To Make Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Open the cinnamon roll cans, remove the frosting cups, and set them aside to come to room temperature. Cut each cinnamon roll into 6 pieces.
  2. Mix the cinnamon sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the butter mixture: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract (it will bubble), and whisk in the brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Coat the dough: Thoroughly spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Toss half of the cinnamon roll pieces in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then layer them in the Bundt pan. Drizzle half of the butter-brown sugar mixture over the layer. Repeat with the remaining dough and butter mixture.
  5. Bake the monkey bread: Bake for 35-40 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
  6. Flip and frost: Flip the Bundt pan onto a plate. If the breadsticks are, gently tap the pan. Mix the cream cheese until smooth, then whisk in the frosting from the cinnamon roll cups. Drizzle over the bread and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

  • Use an instant-read thermometer: To make sure the monkey bread is fully cooked, insert a thermometer into the center and aim for a temperature of 190° to 200°F.
  • Cut dough evenly: Cutting the cinnamon rolls into equal-sized pieces helps the bread bake evenly and ensures each bite is perfectly cooked.
  • Brown the butter properly: Let the butter turn golden brown before adding the sugar. This deepens the flavor, giving the bread a rich, nutty taste.
  • Layer the dough carefully: Coat the dough pieces evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mix and layer them tightly in the Bundt pan to ensure even baking.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before flipping: Let the monkey bread rest for about 10 minutes after baking to allow it to set and come out of the pan easily.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
