Hello to the most incredible Fall breakfast you’ll serve this season! You and your guests will not be able to resist this deliciously simple Instant Pot Monkey Bread recipe!
This recipe now tops one of my all-time favorite recipes made in the Instant Pot. It is the perfect dish to serve while entertaining this holiday season. It’s truly an instant crowd pleaser.
What’s great about this recipe is it made with canned cinnamon roles and ingredients you likely have a home in your cabinet or pantry. What’s even better? If you or your guests don’t happen to finish off the dish, it’s just as delicious heated up the next morning.
I made this Instant Pot Monkey Bread recipe with apples (you can choose any of your favorites), but it would be just as delicious with other fruits such as mixed berries, bananas or peaches.
Also, I highly recommend adding walnuts and/or pecans (pending there are no allergies you need to be concerned with). The nuts in this recipe were a last minute add, but I am so glad we did. It added a good amount of extra flavor and crunch. If you’re feeling extra wild, you can also top the recipe with heath or caramel crunch. YUM!
We hope you love this recipe as much as we do! We’ll be serving this all season long!

TIPS FOR MAKING INSTANT POT MONKEY BREAD:
- Mix together the cut up cinnamon rolls with the other ingredients until well coated. If you don’t you will end up with clumps of cooked cinnamon rolls instead of ooey gooey monkey bread.
- While I added apples to this Monkey Bread recipe, it can also be made with other fruits such as blueberries, peaches and bananas.
- For added flavor, I recommend adding pecans and walnuts to the recipe. I threw them in on a whim and was so happy that I did! They really added a nice touch. The deep flavor and crunch were great in contrast to the sweet and soft cinnamon rolls and apples.
- When you take the monkey bread out of the Instant Pot, let it cool for about 5-10 minutes. If you don’t it may not set-up as well and instead of having monkey bread, you’ll end up with a pile of monkey nuggets.
