Ingredients to make Crockpot Monkey Bread
1 tube Biscuits, I used Pillsbury Biscuits
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/4 cup Margarine/butter, Melted
1 cup brown sugar
How to make Crockpot Monkey Bread
1. Cut biscuits into quarters with kitchen shears
2. Dip biscuit pieces into melted butter
3. Put buttered biscuit pieces into the bowl of cinnamon and brown sugar and fully coat the pieces
4. Toss pieces into your Crock-Pot until you have all of the pieces layered in the crockpot. I poured the extra brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the top of my pieces. Because really you can’t have enough brown sugar and cinnamon.
5. Cook on low for 2 hours, check to see if pieces are done. I rotated a few of the top pieces to the bottom to make sure everything was cooked all the way through. The pieces on the edges cooked faster than the pieces on the top.
6. Dish up and enjoy

If I double the recipe, should I cook it for the same time or a bit longer?
Have you ever doubled it? Or maybe even more?
Thanks
Tammilee says
Hi
We have not tried doubling the recipe. I am not sure how long it would take to cook.
Rachel says
I cooked on low for about an hour 45 min. Biscuits were still very doughy. Turned it on high for about at hour and came out okay. Wish I had cooked on high from the start.
sheryl says
I’m sorry, but these do not look like they are cooked. I would bake it in the oven.
Tricia Hope says
Gonna definaetly include this recipe with my daughters’ wedding gift,a multicooker.Thanks a bunch!
Betty Follett says
This recipe for Crock Pot Monkey Bread is one of the best things ever. It is so easy — and SO yummy!!
Tammilee says
Betty! You just made my day! I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Karen Kuntz says
What in the world did I do wrong? I cooked it for hours and it was a pasty, soggy mess! Should I have cooked with the crock lid off? I wonder, because the build up of steam and condensation had no where to go, so how does it dry out enough? I have enough ingredients to try again, but I’m hesitant. Can you help?
Johanna says
what size crockpot do you use?
Tammilee says
I use a medium size crockpot. I will look and see if I can find the exact quart size.
Lainey says
Sounds like fun but I have noidea what the biscuits are or where to buy them in Australia. Is there some equivalent available here? I can’t see from the picture just what type of biscuit they are.
Tammilee says
Hi Lainey, They are made with a tube of refrigerated biscuits. These were pillsbury I think. I am not sure if they are sold in Australia. I have not been in Australia in over 10 years sadly.
Haley says
I tried making this recipe today, and it’s been cooking for five hours now, still not done. In the future I’ll probably just stick with making my monkey bread in the oven. The concept for this is very good, though.
Haley says
I tried this recipe today but it has taken four hours to cook at this point and isn’t done yet. I’m Not sure why this is an issue.
Jennifer says
These look so good! I have got to give them a try on Saturday morning!
brandie says
Im using a smaller 4 qt crockpot and doubled the recipe cause i used 2 cans of biscuits.Should I still only cook for 2 hours?
Joanne Richel says
My daughter introduced me to Monkey Bread and this sounds so good. I am definitely going to try and believe have all the ingredients right in my kitchen, also an apple so may add that also. Thanks for sharing.
Lisa says
Definitely trying this! C
For Sammy!
Carrie says
I have a Ninja 3 in 1 cooking system and am going to try this on the oven setting in it tonight. Brown sugar, cinnamon, and bread is the best marriage ever. Thanks for the quick and easy recipe.

Carrie says
I ended up making it. What a tasty treat! I didn’t feel like going to the grocery store for one or two apples so I skipped them. I think a granny smith would help cut the sweetness a bit, and give it a nice flavour. Thanks again for the recipe.
Tammilee says
Carrie,
I love the idea of adding apples to it. I have heard of a few people adding bacon to it also.
Pat Serio says
The recipe I have, which goes in a Bundt pan and bakes in the oven, gets raisins. I think they are essential to a successful Monkey Bread.
Tanya says
Are you able to double this recipe? Cook time same? I have 3 containers of biscuits and have a party coming up and this would be perfect.
Lana says
Do you think this would work with canned cinnamon rolls???? That’s what I have in the fridge, thinking about giving it a try……
Tammilee says
Lana, That sounds like it would taste fantastic.
Chelsea says
Absolutely love this! Simple, quick, and delicious! Thank you =) passing it on!!
Kayelyn says
I tried this recipe last night and I have to say it was AMAZING.
So easy to do and so good. The hardest part was waiting two hours for it to cook.
I will definitely be doing it more often.
Tammilee says
Kayelyn, I am so glad you loved the recipe! Thank you so much for letting us know. I agree the 2 hour wait is the hardest part. The house smells so good and you have to wait and wait and wait for it to be done.
Dave says
So you take ready made dough and put some sugar on it?
That, my dear, is not cooking. That is ASSEMBLY. THAT is why is only took a few minutes.
You might as well go and BUY the Monkeybread and stick it in the oven for 5 minutes,
Becky says
I’m sure this recipe wasn’t meant for advanced culinarians such as yourself. The ASSEMBLY required is simple enough for the novice cook & gives them the opportunity to utilize their own substitutions if they so desire, instead of just buying a ready-made product. It might even inspire them to try a more difficult recipe.
Steph says
Pretty sure no one said this was something learned at culinary school. Don’t like it? Don’t do it! Talk about rude
Melissa says
Why take the time to comment and be rude about it? I think you need to stick to alladvancedrecipesforexperts.com, Dave!
Mari Corona says
Yes finally Monkey Bread recipe I can totally do!!!! Thank you xo
LaRay Gillison says
want to try something really amazing stuff the biscuits with a dab of cream cheese. only takes one 8ounce to do a full batch. Sometimes I even sweeten the cream cheese just alittle. It is AMAZING!!!! Cook the same.
Deanna says
Can u double the recipe and if so does it take the same amount of time
katherine king says
that looks soo good. i am going to have to try it!!!
Karen says
how do you keep this after cooking? at room temp? thank you!
Tammilee says
Hi, We did not have any leftovers when we cooked it. I would keep them in the fridge. I tend to put everything in the fridge though.
Casey says
do you spray the bottom of your crock pot?
Tammilee says
Yes, I sprayed it quite a bit to make sure that nothing stuck to the sides.
Victoria says
I did this tonight and it was delicious! I did a half recipe and it still worked beautifully. Super yumm!
Laura says
Could you set the crock pot at night for 2hr then have it go to warm the rest of the night or do you think it will burn?
Tammilee says
I have not tried setting it at night. I would worry that the bottom would burn while it sat in the crock pot.
Mrs. Lopez says
I was wondering if I could share this recipe on my blog? I would link back to you?
Thanks,
~Mrs. Lopez of lovinglifeinpink.blogspot.com
JUNE TURNER says
I AM WONDERING….BAKE THIS COVERED, OR UN–COVERED
Tammilee says
I baked it covered to keep the heat in the crock pot.
AngelD says
I was wondering on the temp and how long to set the crock pot? Thank You
Tammilee says
I cooked the crock pot monkey bread on low for 2 hours.
AngelD says
Thank You 😉
Sally says
I am definitely going to be making this to go with dinner tonight. Thank you for the recipe!! 🙂
Ellen Christian says
I never would have thought to make it in the crockpot!
Lexi says
Do you think you could double the amount of biscuits?
Tammilee says
Hi, You could easily double the biscuits. just make sure you make up enough coating.
Katherine says
Can you prep this ahead? I’m thinking for Easter morning!
Tammilee says
I would think you could prep it ahead. I would just not add in the extra sauce over it because it might get to gooey
