Quick & Easy Monkey Bread

This shortcut Monkey Bread is a sweet, ooey - gooey cinnamon, pull apart bread that everyone loves.  

Today I'm sharing this Quick & Easy Monkey Bread with y'all. The reason is it so quick is because it utilizes canned buttermilk biscuits. Don't get me wrong my favorite by far is the full homemade version of monkey bread with homemade yeast rolls, but sometimes time just isn't on my side.

When that happens I rely on this quick and easy version. For those of you not familiar with monkey bread it's a sweet, gooey, cinnamon infused pull- apart bread. Pure goodness if you ask me. My kids love this bread because they can eat it just like monkeys...... pulling it apart with their fingers. 

Also for a different taste add some pecans, raisins, chocolate chips or apples to give your monkey bread a whole new different flare. I like to add pecans and raisins every once in a while, but for the most part I just stick to the basic recipe. If I make Monkey Bread on Christmas morning I usually make the homemade version with frozen yeast rolls, but if you're in a pinch for time this biscuit version works great.
