Monkey bread is one of my favorite desserts to make when I have a lot of kids running around my house. They LOVE being able to pull pieces of the bread apart with their hands! It usually ends up being a sticky-handed mess, but the smiles on their faces make it all worth it.

All microwaves are a little bit different. So, once it hits the 5 minute mark, it’s important to keep an eye on the monkey bread. If you notice that the monkey bread has risen just a little bit, it’s most likely all done! Even if it’s finished at 5 minutes and you let it cook to 6, though, it should still be delicious. Just don’t allow it to cook for over 6 minutes, or you risk the monkey bread drying out.

This dessert is best served while it’s warm and fresh. While it will stay fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container, it will most likely dry out when reheated again in the microwave. If you do choose to reheat your monkey bread, consider making another brown sugar and butter mixture to drizzle on the bread. That will help it from drying out too much.

Remember, this monkey bread will really only be as good as the dough you use! The dough is the base of the recipe, so it’s important to use whatever your favorite store-bought brand of biscuit dough is. Flaky or buttermilk biscuits will work perfectly for this easy microwave recipe.
