Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Monkey Bread
Pull-apart monkey bread with gooey cinnamon-sugar dough balls, made with canned biscuit dough so it's almost effortless. The air fryer bakes it golden on top and fully set in the center.
It's perfect for a weekend breakfast or a sweet snack to share. Just cover the top with foil partway through so the sugar doesn't scorch.
Ingredients
Instructions
Melt
Simmer the butter and milk in a small saucepan until the butter melts. Set aside.
Coat
Mix the sugars and cinnamon in a bowl. Quarter each biscuit and roll into balls, dip in the butter-milk, then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
Pan
Place the coated balls in a 6-inch cake or Bundt-style pan that fits your basket, with a foil tube or ramekin in the center if needed.
Bake
Preheat to 320°F and cook 15 minutes. Cover loosely with foil, making sure it doesn't touch the heating element, and cook another 20 to 25 minutes until the center is cooked through.
Serve
Cool 10 to 15 minutes, invert onto a plate and serve warm.
- Foil on the top prevents burnt sugar while the center finishes.
- Check the center with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Drizzle with a vanilla glaze for a sweeter finish.
