Crock-pot Monkey Bread

Hello everyone and happy Sunday to you! I really am enjoying my Sunday since I took off work tomorrow and have supplied myself with a big 'ol tray of monkey bread to chow down on. Not to mention the fact that it was 75 degrees out today - I really can't complain.

When I was trying to think of a unique recipe for this Sunday's crock-pot creation, I thought it would be cool to use my crock pot for something other than a savory dinner type of meal. I began searching for breakfast recipes you could make in the crock pot and I saw a few for cinnamon rolls in the crock-pot. I decided that I would want to try to go for monkey bread since I really cannot rival my mom's or my aunt's cinnamon roll recipes. I think this is a great idea for christmas morning because you can prepare ahead, and let these cook up while you and your family are opening presents!

You will need:
A crock-pot
4 7.5 oz cans of pillsbury buttermilk rolls (these a little smaller than the grands ones)
1 c granulated sugar
6 tablespoons cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 sticks of melted butter
Buttercream frosting




Start off by cutting each buttermilk dough into quarters. Make sure your dough is cold, so they are easier to cut.


Please the cut up dough in a large plastic bag with the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Shake well to coat each piece of dough.


In a small bowl, mix your melted butter and brown sugar.







Place your dough into your crock-pot.


Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture over the top.


Cook on LOW (mine has 8 and 10 hour settings - use the 8 hour setting if you have the option, the 10 hour one was too slow) for approx. two hours or until they are cooked throughout.


You will end up with some crunchy pieces and some really soft pieces which is what I love about monkey-bread.


Ooey-gooey goodness on the bottom.

Serve warm with some buttercream frosting and enjoy!


I hope that you all have an amazing holiday and get to spend lots of time with family and friends. This year has been so great with my blog and I couldn't thank you all enough for your support and I wish you the very best for your holiday season.

P.S. Now I am going to sit down to watch the game with some hot wings and monkey bread for dessert. LETS GO BIRDS! E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!
