Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread Delightful Quick Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cans refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Open the cans of cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters. Set the icing aside for later use.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss the quartered cinnamon rolls in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Layer half of the coated cinnamon rolls in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. If using, sprinkle half of the chopped nuts over the cinnamon rolls.
- Pour half of the butter mixture over the first layer of cinnamon rolls.
- Add the remaining cinnamon rolls and the rest of the nuts. Drizzle the remainder of the butter mixture on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rolls are cooked through. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving platter.
- Drizzle the reserved icing from the cinnamon roll cans over the warm monkey bread before serving.
