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’sa 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!

  • 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

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.)
