Did you know that monkey bread originally hails from Hungary, where it is known as arany galuska (golden dumpling)? Today, it has become a staple in American kitchens, especially during holidays and special occasions. And why not? With its soft, fluffy layers and sweet cinnamon sugar coating, monkey bread is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Now, before we dive into the recipe, let's talk about why our version is simply the best. There's no need for fancy ingredients or complicated steps here. Our monkey bread combines buttery biscuit dough, brown sugar, and spices to create a heavenly pull-apart treat. Plus, we add a surprise ingredient that takes this classic recipe to the next level – are you ready?
Nutella. That's right, we've elevated monkey bread by adding spoonfuls of rich, chocolatey Nutella in every layer. You'll be amazed at how well it pairs with cinnamon and sugar. Trust us, once you try this twist on the original, there's no going back.
So, without further ado, let's get started:
- Preheat your oven at 350°F (175°C)
- Grease a bundt pan with butter or oil, making sure to coat every nook and cranny
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt
- Select two cans of refrigerated biscuit dough, any brand you prefer
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and roll into balls
- In a separate bowl, melt 1/2 cup of butter and set aside
- Here comes the fun part. Grab your Nutella jar and take a tablespoon or spoonfuls, depending on how much you like, out and spread within the wedge pieces of dough. Depending on preference, put enough Nutella spread on the pieces of dough until it is properly covered per piece. Roll each one in the sugar-cinnamon mixture, making sure they're coated evenly
- Assemble the coated balls in the greased pan, creating layers and drizzling melted butter on each layer
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Loosen the edges using a knife or spatula and carefully invert onto a serving platter/plate
- Add more Nutella for frosting to balance flavor
- Serve and enjoy!
See, wasn't that easy? By following these simple steps, you'll have a stunning, Nutella-infused monkey bread that will brighten any mealtime. Whether you're looking for a cozy weekend brunch or a festive holiday dessert, this recipe is sure to impress.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is monkey bread?
Monkey bread is a sweet, pull-apart pastry made from bite-sized pieces of dough that are coated in butter, cinnamon, and sugar before being baked together in a bundt pan.
What makes your monkey bread recipe so irresistible?
Our monkey bread recipe uses a secret ingredient that keeps the dough moist and tender while it bakes, resulting in a warm, gooey pastry that's impossible to resist!
Can I make monkey bread ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough and coat it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture up to 24 hours ahead of time, then cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Just be sure to let the dough come to room temperature before baking.
Can I use a different type of pan besides a bundt pan?
While a bundt pan is traditionally used for monkey bread, you can also use a loaf pan or muffin tins if you prefer. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
Can I add other flavors to my monkey bread?
Absolutely! You can try adding nuts, raisins, chocolate chips, or even savory ingredients like bacon and cheese to your monkey bread for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
How should I store leftover monkey bread?
If you have any leftover monkey bread, you can store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes, or until warm.
Can I freeze monkey bread?
Yes! You can freeze monkey bread either before or after baking. If freezing before baking, prepare the dough and coat it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture as usual, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then let come to room temperature before baking. If freezing after baking, let the monkey bread cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
