When thinking about all my favorite recipes to convert into Instant Pot recipes, my grandma’s pull apart monkey bread recipe kept coming to mind. Her monkey bread recipe was my favorite thing to eat for Easter brunch.

Of course, a good cinnamon monkey bread is good any day of the year, but for some reason, this one reminds me of spring.  Speaking of which…. this would be a great Mother’s Day Recipe!  Hint, hint, hint…..

 

Pressure Cooker Cinnamon Monkey Bread

How to Make Monkey Bread

There are several different kinds of monkey bread recipes but they have a few things in common. Monkey bread is made from small yeast dough rolled into balls and then combined with a sweet or savory component to make a sauce.  It is super easy to just use Pillsbury dough for this recipe. Traditionally these balls are placed into a monkey bread pan, typically a bundt pan, and then baked, but I wanted to see how this recipe would taste in my electric pressure cooker.  Using the Instant Pot will make it even easier!  Win!

I’ve been using my pressure cooker for a few years now and can’t imagine what it would be like to not have it.  Pressure Cooking isn’t as intimidating as it once may have been. To learn more about the benefits of pressure cooking check out our Pressure Cooker Guide.

Can I make this Recipe in an Oven?

Yes! Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare the monkey bread as described in the recipe. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes and then cover with aluminum foil. Bake an additional 20 minutes and then remove foil again. Bake for 5 minutes longer until done or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Breakfast is one of my favorite things to make in my pressure cooker. I love our Instant Pot breakfast casserole and it usually gets made a few times a month. This cinnamon monkey bread satisfies my sweet tooth so it is perfect for either breakfast or dessert!
