Hi everyone – it’s Eva from Eva Bakes again! I’m super excited to share this recipe with you today since it involves one of my favorite childhood memories. When I was in middle school, I had a good friend who had girls for sleepovers quite a bit. Invitations to these sleepovers was quite the feat because the event was pretty epic. My friend had an in-ground pool, a hot tub, and a water bed. I don’t think any of us ever went to bed until close to 3 am on those days. There was lots of giggling, gossiping and Ouija-board playing.

After we finally woke up the next morning (which was probably close to noon, mind you), my friend’s mom would make us an amazing breakfast – monkey bread. As soon as she would pull out the freshly baked monkey bread from the oven, it would disappear in a matter of minutes. We middle school girls could eat!

For reasons unknown, I have never made monkey bread until now. But I guess I am making up for lost time now, because this monkey bread was pretty amazing.

Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 pack) Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 stick
  • unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Generously grease or spray a Bundt pan and set aside. Do NOT use a tube pan, or else the liquid will leak out and make a mess in your oven!
  3. Slice each roll into 4-6 pieces and place in a large bowl. Add in the beaten eggs and toss well using your hands.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss into the large bowl and mix well.
  5. Transfer the bread into the prepared Bundt pan.
  6. Mix together the melted butter and brown sugar until no lumps remain. Pour this over the bread in the Bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool slightly. Run a knife around the outer edge of the pan and invert it onto a cake plate or other large plate. Serve immediately.
Notes
Leftover monkey bread should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. It can be rewarmed in the microwave or oven.

  3. This is really brilliant using the rolls. I wouldn’t even know that’s how you did it if I hadn’t read through the ingredients! Beautiful and a showstopper. 😉
