How To Make Easy Instant Pot Monkey Bread

Step One: Start by spraying your Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Then add the water to the Instant pot Bowl.

Step Two: Set the trivet into the Instant Pot Bowl. Then cut each biscuit into eight pieces. In a small mixing bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon. Then dip the diced biscuits into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. As you coat the biscuits, place them into the prepared Bundt pan.

Step Three: When you have used all your biscuits, pour the melted butter over the biscuits. Set the Bundt Pan onto the Trivet. Set manual high pressure for 20 minutes. When the time is up, do a quick release.

Easy Instant Pot Monkey Bread Recipe Tips

• Use thawed biscuit dough: Ensures even cooking and soft, pull-apart texture.
• Coat each piece thoroughly: Dredge every biscuit piece in cinnamon-sugar for maximum flavor.
• Don’t overfill the Bundt pan: Leave space for the bread to expand during cooking.
• Check doneness carefully: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your Instant Pot model.
• Optional add-ins: Mix in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or drizzle with glaze for extra flavor.

Storing Instructions

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerate: Keep in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat in the Instant Pot, microwave, or oven.
• Freezing: Wrap tightly in foil or a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month; thaw completely before reheating.

Equipment Used

Depending on which Instant Pot you use, you can use either a regular size bundt can pan or a mini one. Check your Instant Pot before you add your biscuits to the Bundt cake pan to ensure it fits.
