Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (16 oz each) pre-made cinnamon rolls (with icing)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or a 9×13-inch baking dish generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare the cinnamon roll pieces:
    • Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Cut each roll into 4 pieces.
  3. Coat the pieces:
    • In a large zip-top bag or bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Add the cinnamon roll pieces and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Layer the pieces in the pan:
    • Arrange the sugar-coated cinnamon roll pieces in the prepared bundt pan, spreading them evenly.
  5. Make the caramel sauce:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  7. Cool and add icing:
    • Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate. Drizzle the included icing from the cinnamon roll cans over the top.
  8. Serve:
    • Serve warm, and enjoy pulling apart the sticky, gooey pieces!


Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or raisins between the layers of cinnamon roll pieces.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
