Lazy Saturday mornings are my favorites, followed closely by long afternoon naps. There is no mad dash to get out of the door for work or school and we can lounge around and munch on our favorite snacks.
This is also the perfect time for me to break out and make my favorite Monkey Bread Recipe.
Have you jumped on the Instant pot bandwagon yet? I jumped in both feet first and have been nothing but happy with it. If you are looking for a kitchen gadget to make life a little easier, you are going to love this baby.
Why do I love using my Instant Pot so much? Not only is it easy to use, but you can convert so many recipes that would normally take hours into about one fourth of the time. It’s a time saver, but you don’t have to sacrifice any of the flavor from cooking all day. They really are amazing, and if you don’t have one, I would highly recommend looking into it!

How to make Instant Pot Monkey Bread Recipe
What do you need to make the Instant Pot monkey bread recipe?
First, you need a smaller than normal bundt cake pan. I picked up a 6 cup bundt pan just for using with my Instant pot.

Instant Pot Monkey Bread ingredients:
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 packages of biscuit dough (one butter, one regular flavor cut into small pieces)
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 large ziplock bag
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- foil
Instant Pot Monkey Bread instructions:
To get started, add the 1 1/2 cup of water to the Instant pot and add the trivet that came with your pressure cooker.
Add the white sugar, cinnamon, and biscuit dough to the ziplock bag and then shake well until everything is coated.
Place a long strip of foil that is rolled into the Instant pot over the trivet with the sides coming up to the top.
Place the mixture into your bundt pan, and then place the bundt pan over the foil on the trivet.
Fold the foil strips over so that they don’t get caught in the grooves when you attach the lid. (We will be using the foil strip as makeshift handles when we remove the bundt pan from the pot after cooking.)
Place the lid and turn until locked. Set the manual mode for 20 minutes and allow your bread to cook.
Once the time has finished, do a quick release and carefully remove the monkey bread from the Instant Pot. (Be careful as your bundt pan will still be hot.)
Over medium heat melt the butter, vanilla, and brown sugar. Place the monkey bread on a plate, and then drizzle the top with the butter and brown sugar.
It’s so good! This is such a yummy and easy recipe. If you have been searching for an easy dessert to make in the Instant pot, you’ve found one with this Monkey bread recipe.

Jenn's Notes
Nutrition Info
I made this for breakfast Christmas morning. It was fabulous! I questioned the powdered sugar as others did, but was able to figure it out. Mine turned out perfect! Quick, simple, and delicious! Doesn’t get much better than that!
Made it this morning as part of a Christmas brunch. I have that exact blue Bundt pan, so it seemed meant to be. It turned out perfectly. No idea what the negativity was about. Thanks for the easy and fun idea.
The nasty comments were unnecessary. Unfortunately, I did not have good results with this. It was cooked on the top but when I flipped it on to a plate, realized it was still doughy. I ended up emptying it into a pan and sticking it in the oven at 350 until done. The flavor was really good, just not a great presentation. If you use the butter/brown sugar mixture, I would suggest making only about a 1/3 of ingredients and drizzling it. Either that or a mixture of powdered sugar and just enough milk to make a glaze. While I wouldn’t call this an epic fail, I’ll be sticking to my oven recipe for monkey bread in the future.
If you boil the brown sugar and butter for one minute on the stove it makes a caramel smooth topping glaze. It’s yummy
Do you “Pam” the pan first? Will it stick if you don’t?
I bet you could use that super cute pan for a lot of other great recipes. I’d love to see what others you’ve tried or that you do.
Any pan you could use instead of small bundt? I don’t have one and want to try looks yummy!
I used a regular pan and put a glass in the middle.
In which step do I use the 1 Tbsp powdered sugar? Thank you!
Look fantastic! I’m gonna try to make one !!
What is the powdered sugar for?
I am guessing it goes in the glaze. Hard to tell. This recipe is very poorly written; the ingredients are not listed in the order used, either. Blogger has a lot to learn.
I followed your recipe as much as possible, considering the mess it is in. Soggy, disgusting mess. Your “glaze” is another digusting slurry of melted butter and brown sugar. A total waste of groceries. You should go back to playing Barbies and forget about blogging recipes. You suck at it.
Wow! A simple “this recipe didn’t work for me” would’ve sufficed. What’s with taking so much time out of your life to be so hateful and negative to a perfect stranger? Not to mention, she clearly states in her bio that she spent twenty years in the not-for-profit realm, and is raising three boys? I’d imagine “Barbie” isn’t really on her radar. But so what if she was?? Thanks for sharing, Jenn!
Harsh and just plain mean. To throw back for her, if your so fancy you should have known to not waste your time making butter brown sugar slurry.
Mine turned out great! Not a soggy mess. Haven’t tasted it yet but the beginnings are turning out just fine. Thanks for something new to try in my ip.
Have you ever herd the term “If you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all”? You are very rude.
AMEN & AMEN
I like she done a wonderful job
@Barb. As everyone else has said you are rude. I just made this and mine came out great. I am not lazy like you and followed the instructions on how to make it not the way the ingredients are listed. Don’t be so lazy and write the ingredients the correct way on a recipe card if you are so bothered by it.
My glaze and monkey bread was not soggy or messy. Maybe you don’t know how to use your IP or you just like writing bad reviews.
One important step was left out. You MUST cover the bundt pan with foil before putting it into the instant pot. Otherwise, you get a soggy mess from the water dripping off the inside of the lid onto the bread.
@Becca. Thanks for saying why we need to cover with foil. I thought this was the reason but you confirmed it. Thank you!
Why do people have to be so rude???
I love monkey bread and am curious about making it in my instant pot! So quick and so delicious. I’ll definitely be looking over your other instant pot recipes as I’m a newbie user and am on the prowl for recipes. Thanks!
