This Gingerbread Spice Monkey Bread is a delightful, pull-apart treat perfect for holiday mornings or cozy gatherings. Infused with warm gingerbread spices and a sweet brown sugar butter glaze, this easy-to-make recipe uses flaky biscuit dough for a tender, golden-brown bite full of festive flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Spice Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp gingerbread spice (try our Homemade Gingerbread Spice)

Dough

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits

Syrup

  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking your monkey bread.
  2. Prepare Pan: Lightly grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and help with easy removal after baking.
  3. Mix Sugar and Spice: In a large Ziploc bag, combine the granulated sugar and gingerbread spice. Seal the bag and shake well to evenly mix the spices through the sugar.
  4. Prepare Biscuit Pieces: Separate dough into 16 biscuits, then cut each biscuit into quarters. Add the biscuit pieces to the sugar-spice bag, shake gently until each piece is well coated.
  5. Arrange in Pan: Place the coated biscuit pieces evenly into the prepared tube pan, layering them to fill the cups.
  6. Mix Brown Sugar and Butter: In a small bowl, combine the firmly packed brown sugar with the melted butter, mixing until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and no longer doughy in the center. The exact time will depend on your oven and pan.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the monkey bread. Serve warm for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • If you don’t have gingerbread spice, a blend of ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves works great as a substitute.
  • Use a non-stick tube pan for easy removal, or make sure to grease thoroughly with cooking spray or butter.
  • Serving warm enhances the gooey texture and flavor — reheat leftover monkey bread slightly before serving.
  • Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days; it’s best enjoyed fresh.
  • You can double the recipe using two pans if serving a larger crowd.
