Crockpot Monkey Bread

Warm, gooey, and loaded with cinnamon sugar goodness, this Crockpot monkey bread is an effortless, crowd-pleasing treat perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits

    8 count

  • 1 cup butter

    melted, 2 sticks

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

    optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Line a 5-7 quart slow cooker with parchment paper or a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray if desired.

  2. 2

    In a large Ziplock bag or medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Stir or shake until evenly mixed.

  3. 3

    Open the biscuit can, separate the biscuits, and cut them into quarters. Drop the pieces into the bag with the cinnamon sugar. Toss or shake to coat well.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

  5. 5

    Arrange half of the coated biscuits in the bottom of the slow cooker. Drizzle half of the butter mixture over the top, then add a second layer of biscuit pieces. Top with the other half of the butter mixture, drizzling it as evenly as possible. If using, sprinkle the pecans over the top.

  6. 6

    Place 3–4 paper towels or a clean kitchen towel over the top of the pot and secure with the lid. Make sure the towels don’t touch the food.

  7. 7

    Cook on HIGH for 1.5-2 hours or on LOW for 2.5-3 hours. Check after 60 minutes. The monkey bread is ready when the biscuits are cooked through, puffed up, and golden brown on the edges.

  8. 8

    Carefully lift the monkey bread from the slow cooker using the parchment paper or liner. Let cool for a few minutes, then invert the whole thing onto a serving plate or platter. Serve warm and enjoy!
