Monkey Bread is a big favorite at our house. If you’ve never made it before, it’s made from small balls of dough (refrigerated biscuits in this case), usually coated in cinnamon sugar and baked together in a Bundt cake pan.

Bacon Maple Monkey Bread is the perfect blend of sweet and savory!

It can be assembled ahead of time, making it perfect for holiday entertaining.

Bacon Maple Monkey Bread is super easy to make from refrigerated biscuits.

 

For this Bacon Maple Monkey Bread, each biscuit gets quartered and dipped in bacon  grease. (Because if you’re going to fry up some bacon, you’d might as well use the grease.)

Then they are coated in cinnamon-sugar and layered in a well-greased Bundt pan with crumbled bacon. Lots of crumbled bacon.  🙂

  1. I make this all the time and sub the biscuits for cinnamon rolls. That thing is gone before it even cools. So good.
    I may even drizzle just a little of the icing from the cinnamon rolls on top. LoL

  2. This recipe is so delicious!!!! I brought it to an Easter brunch and it was gone in 10 minutes! This year, I’ve been asked to bring two 🙂

  5. Made it this morning, it was delicious! Also added about 1/2 cup of pecans I wanted to use up. I had to portion the leftovers into containers so I didn’t eat it all
