Crock Pot Monkey Bread
Turn your classic monkey bread recipe into a delicious slow cooker creation. Full of delicious biscuits, coated in cinnamon and sugar, then drizzled with a rich icing. Perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Buttermilk Original Biscuits 16.2 ounces
- 1 stick Salted Butter ½ cup
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1/2 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1/2 TBSP Ground Cinnamon
- Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Icing:
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 TBSP Whole Milk
Instructions
- Remove the biscuits from their package and quarter them (cut them in 4 pieces). Set aside.
- Place half the butter in a large mixing bowl and place in the microwave for a minute, on high, or until melted.
- Toss the biscuits in the butter. Set aside.
- Add the brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon to a large gallon size baggie. Seal and mix well.
- Place the butter covered pieces of biscuits in the bag, seal it closed, and shake until the biscuits or coated well. Do not pour the bowl into the bag, place the biscuits in by hand.
- Place the other half of the butter into your butter bowl and cook for another minute or until melted.
- Pour all the butter into the bottom of your crock pot insert. Spray sides with non-stick spray.
- Place all the cinnamon sugar biscuit pieces in one single layer in the bottom of the crockpot. You may have to wedge them in there to fit them all, that’s ok.
- Cook on low for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
- Once cooked and slightly cooled, combine all the ingredients for the icing in a small mixing bowl and stir until fully combined.
- Drizzle over the monkey bread and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
- This recipe works best with a 6-quart slow cooker. You could probably get a 5-quart to work if you really squished the dough pieces together. However, you don’t want to do double layers as it doesn’t cook the best that way.
- You don’t want to double this recipe all at once. I haven’t had good luck with adding in more than one layer at a time.
- Do not cook on high as it will cook it too quickly, not allowing the middle to get done before the outside is done.
- Do not cook on warm for a longer period of time or it really dries it out.
- You can use any type of the Pillsbury original biscuits, just not the layered kind. If you don't want to use that brand, just use large biscuits or add in more of a smaller size biscuit. You just want enough to one, tight layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
