How do you make Monkey Bread in the Microwave?
You can make this a few different ways. You could use an 8 x 8 microwave-safe baking dish or a microwave-safe silicone bundt pan, or even a microwave-safe large bowl with a ramekin in the center.
Once you’ve decided on the dish you’ll be cooking it in, make sure to spray that dish with non-stick oil spray, including the inner part of the bundt pant or the ramekin. Set aside.
Combine white sugar and cinnamon in another bowl.
Cut each biscuit into 6 triangles and drop into the sugar mixture over and mix. Do this for just 1-2 biscuits at a time.
Then, drop the biscuit pieces into the bundt pan or baking dish.
Continue until you’ve mixed all the biscuit pieces into the sugar mixture and transferred them to the baking dish.
Melt butter then add in the brown sugar and mix. Heat for 30-45 seconds in the microwave. Stir it up.
Drizzle the butter sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces, try to make sure it can get between all the pieces.
Cook on high for 5-6 minutes. Remove from the microwave and let stand 2-3 minutes to cool.
Flip out onto a plate and serve.
Can you double the recipe for a bigger batch?
Nope! I’ve found this out the hard way. I’ve tested this recipe a few times and that was a variation I tried and could never get right. When I used two cans of biscuits, half the dough would still be raw, even with extra time added. So I don’t recommend it.
Can you make this Microwave Monkey Bread recipe up ahead of time?
I would not recommend it. Monkey Bread is best served warm, and when it’s freshly made it’s delicious.
How do you store leftovers of this Microwave Monkey Bread?
Honestly, we never have leftovers. My kids devour monkey bread when we make it. However, I would recommend storing it in a sealed container on the counter for just a day or two.
