Ingredient Notes
To make this Monkey Bread you start with a can of Grands! cinnamon roll dough! Then all you need is melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon!
You can even dress this monkey bread up by drizzling on a topping! My vanilla icing that you can find on my Easy Cinnamon Rolls would be super delicious or even a cream cheese icing!
If you just want to keep it simple easily sprinkle on some powdered sugar and call it good! Topping or not, this bread will secure a spot on your favorite air fryer recipes list!
How To Make Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread
- Cut the cinnamon rolls into sixths.
- Whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Dip all of the cinnamon roll pieces into the melted butter before rolling them into the sugar mixture. Then place in a prepared 3 CUP bundt pan. I used this pan.
- Air fry for 10 minutes and then rotate the pan and continue cooking.
You can use the included can of icing to top the monkey bread or try making my homemade Vanilla Icing!
Can I Make This Recipe With Biscuits Instead?
Yes, just use Grand’s Jumbo biscuits and cut each biscuit into sixths as well! Then simply take the biscuit pieces through the same process of dipping in melted butter and rolling in the sugar mixture!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
You can store any leftovers either on the counter in a zip lock bag for up to two days or in the refrigerator for a week.
How To Reheat Leftover Monkey Bread
To warm up leftovers, I recommend preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and reheating them for about 10 minutes.
