Monkey Bread
I’m partnering with Annie’s to spread the word about their first ever Great Bunny Bake Off with a delicious recipe of my own!
When you look at a food blogger I’m sure you think we have it all together. We have our meals planned, exquisite recipes to make, our family enjoys homemade meals every night, big breakfasts are a regular on the weekend etc.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but it’s all a figment of your imagination! We are just like you, scrambling at the last minute, more often than we would like too, in order to get meals on the table and families fed. Typically on a day I’m tackling new recipes by the time dinner rolls around I’m exhausted and the last thing I want to do is make another meal for my family.
This feeling also happens after grocery shopping. By the time I get off work, tackle grocery shopping, arrive home, all I want to do is put a pizza in the oven. If I’m lucky and have my act together I think ahead and plan a slow cooker meal for that night. Let me tell you, that rarely happens!
Unfortunately, there have been many Christmas Eve’s that I suddenly look at my husband and gasp with dismay while proclaiming that I totally forgot about making a delicious Christmas Day breakfast.
You would think that I’d have this down by now! He always smiles and reassures me that it’s totally fine and I haven’t failed to much yet. This is why I love that guy, well one of the many reasons!
It seems that by the time I get all the holiday plans organized, presents bought, presents wrapped, decorations up etc. I let some of the “details” slip by me. That’s why I’m always in need of a few recipes that “save” me in these moments that I drop the ball. Trust me, there are plenty of those moments!
That’s why I love this Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread! It’s ridiculously easy and so delicious. It would be an amazing treat on Christmas morning or any morning you have guests over the holidays. I also have an Apple Monkey Bread that the family loves, too!
It literally takes about 15 minutes and it’s in the oven. Bake it and then flip it onto a platter, drizzle with icing and it’s done!
Plus, it starts with Annie’s Organic Cinnamon Rolls which taste amazing and are perfect for when you need a quick treat in the morning! I dressed them up in this easy Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread, but they are delicious on their own too! Did you know Annie’s Organic Cinnamon Rolls are Certified Organic? Can I get a round of applause for that?
Not only are they Certified Organic, but they contain unbleached flour, no hydrogenated oils and no high-fructose corn syrup!

My weekend go to for company and my grandkids LOVE IT! I’ve started making the sauce in 2 smaller batches so each layer gets “the good stuff.” Thanks Julie!

So glad to hear it’s a hit with your grandkids—what a sweet tradition! 😄 And I love your idea of splitting the sauce for extra gooeyness in every bite! Thanks so much for trying it and sharing your tip!
