If you love quick and easy, you will love this monkey bread recipe.
Why is Monkey Bread called that name? The name originally came from the pastry being a finger food eaten in pieces like a monkey would.
Kids love this so much. It's easy, and you can have fun. Just have plenty of wet napkins ready because it gets sticky, but it's so worth it.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE AIR FRIED MONKEY BREAD

📖 Recipe
Air Fryer Monkey Bread
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 can biscuit dough
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoon heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer to 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the biscuit dough into small pieces. Add the biscuit dough to a large plastic sealable bag. Add the granulated sugar and the brown to the biscuits, seal the bag closed, and then toss the bag to cover the dough in sugar.
- Prepare a small bundt pan. Place the biscuit dough pieces into the bundt pan. Add the bundt pan to the basket of the air fryer and cook for 18-20 minutes.
- Make the glaze while the monkey bread is baking. Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla flavoring to a small mixing bowl. Mix until the consistency is that of a glaze. Add more heavy cream if you would like a thinner glaze.
- Remove the monkey bread from the air fryer once it's finished cooking. Set the bread aside and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip the monkey bread out of the bundt pan onto a serving plate and then top it with the homemade glaze.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- It's normal for the bottom of the monkey bread to be brown since it is exposed to the circulating air the most.
- Like nuts? Add ¼ cup chopped almonds or pecans to the biscuit dough mixture before baking.
