What Is Monkey Bread?
Monkey Bread is a big favorite at our house. If you’ve never made it before, it’s made from small balls of dough (refrigerated biscuits in this case), usually coated in cinnamon sugar and baked together in a Bundt cake pan.

It can be assembled ahead of time, making it perfect for holiday entertaining.
For this Bacon Maple Monkey Bread, each biscuit gets quartered and dipped in bacon grease. (Because if you’re going to fry up some bacon, you’d might as well use the grease.)
How To Make Bacon Monkey Bread
Then they are coated in cinnamon-sugar and layered in a well-greased Bundt pan with crumbled bacon. Lots of crumbled bacon.
A mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup gets poured over the top. This mixture seeps into all the nooks and crannies and makes the baked Monkey Bread so gooey, sweet, and delicious.

How To Serve
This monkey bread can be served for dessert, breakfast, or brunch. Monkey Bread on Christmas Day is a tradition for my family. We always munch on it while opening presents.
Storage
I recommend storing this Monkey Bread in the refrigerator because of the bacon. It will keep in an airtight container for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave to warm it.
Recipe Tip
Be sure to use real maple syrup for best flavor.
