Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- ½ cup butter, melted
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
Spices:
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 350°F and coat a 10-inch bundt pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully slice each refrigerated cinnamon roll from the 2 cans into neat quarter-sized pieces.
- Combine ½ cup granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
- Roll each cinnamon roll piece through the sugar-cinnamon mixture until completely and evenly covered.
- Strategically place the coated roll pieces inside the prepared bundt pan, creating a random yet loosely stacked arrangement.
- Melt ½ cup butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then whisk in ½ cup brown sugar until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Slowly drizzle the entire butter-brown sugar mixture across the layered cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring maximum coverage.
- Transfer the bundt pan to the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 32-35 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown top.
- Remove from the oven and allow the monkey bread to rest and slightly cool for exactly 10 minutes.
- Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate, letting the warm, sticky monkey bread release smoothly.
Notes
- Slice the cinnamon rolls when they’re slightly chilled from the refrigerator for cleaner, more precise cuts.
- Make sure each piece is thoroughly coated in the sugar-cinnamon mixture to ensure maximum flavor in every bite.
- For a gluten-free version, swap out the standard cinnamon rolls for a gluten-free brand that holds its shape well during baking.
- Allow the monkey bread to rest for exactly 10 minutes after baking, which helps it set and makes inverting onto a plate much easier.
