Monkey bread is a sweet, gooey cinnamon roll-like bread that is made from balls of dough rolled in cinnamon sugar. It’s made with biscuit dough, cinnamon, white sugar, and butter and is baked together to create an amazing sticky, cinnamon bread that is perfect for brunch.

The muffins will puff up and almost double in size. The tops will be golden brown and the butter will be bubbly.

Use a toothpick or fork to poke in the center of the muffin. You want to aim for the thicker parts. A clean toothpick means done, and a sticky one means the muffins need another minute.

Monkey bread does not have to be refrigerated. The bread can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 4 days. If you want to extend the shelf-life of your monkey bread, you can wrap it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

We highly recommend eating monkey bread fresh from the oven, as it doesn’t get better than that! However, if you want to freeze them you can.

Quick & Easy Monkey Bread Muffins

Wrap them tightly and store them in an airtight container for 3 months. Warm them in the oven or microwave before eating.

We do recommend refrigerating leftover muffins. However, you can leave them out for one day and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best served warm, so no matter how you store them we recommend warming them up before eating. 

Bake the muffins for 12-18 minutes until they are golden brown. Test them after 12 minutes and add more time if needed.

Apple Monkey Bread Muffins

Ok what about the name? Most of my results were helpless, but here’s what I could put together on where the title “Monkey Bread” comes from.

There is an African tree called the Monkey Breadtree that has an exceedingly thick trunk and an edible pulp. Some people think that Monkey Bread is named after the tree as it slightly resembles it.

Alternatively, some people believe Monkey Bread gets its name from monkeys. When eating monkey bread, people usually tear it apart with their fingers, much like how monkeys eat.

Cinnamon Apple Monkey Bread Muffins

You only need 5 simple ingredients to make it: refrigerated biscuits, melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon. You probably already have these ingredients in your kitchen!

Spray your muffin pan with nonstick spray, bottoms and sides. Don’t skip this step as this will prevent the muffins from sticking when you slide them out. Now pour the butter and brown sugar mixture into each muffin cup.

Mini

Rip each biscuit into 6 pieces, you don’t have to be exact with sizes, just make them about even. I used Pillsbury biscuits, but any brand works.
