Praline Pecan Monkey Bread

pecan pieces (toasted & divided)

yeast rolls (thawed & quartered [I used Rhodes])

sugar

Tbsp cinnamon

brown sugar

butter

heavy cream

tsp pure vanilla or rum extract

sea salt (optional)

Prior to preparing: Place the frozen yeast rolls in a single layer on a platter, and thaw on the counter for 30 minutes. If the rolls are slightly frozen in the middle, they&#x27;re much easier to quarter. Use a sharp knife and quarter each roll.

Toast the pecans: Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Spread the pecan pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for 6-8 minutes. Cool completely

To assemble: Spritz a tube pan with cooking spray. [The rolls will rise while baking. A Bundt pan is not quite deep enough for this monkey bread]

Mix together 2/3 cup of granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp of ground cinnamon.

Toss with the quartered rolls in a large plastic storage bag until evenly coated.

Sprinkle 1/3 of the toasted pecans on the bottom of the tube pan.

Layer half of the quartered rolls on top of the pecans in the pan.

Sprinkle the first layer of rolls with 1/3 of the remaining pecan pieces.

Layer the remaining quartered rolls on top.

Sprinkle any leftover cinnamon and sugar over all.

Top with the last 1/3 cup of toasted pecan pieces.

On the stove top, melt the brown sugar, butter and heavy cream together over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute.

Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla or rum extract. The mixture will be hot, handle carefully.

Pour evenly over the rolls in the pan. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise for 45 minutes.

Bake at 350 °F for 35-40 minutes until golden. Rest for 5-10 minutes before carefully inverting onto a platter.

All of the gooey praline sauce will drizzle down the sides. Sprinkle the top with sea salt.

Pull apart and enjoy!

Easy Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread Recipe + Video

dinner rolls

butter (2 sticks. melted)

cinnamon

cream cheese (softened)

unsalted butter (softened)

salt

Place frozen dinner rolls on clean counter top or cutting board to thaw enough to cut, about 15-30 minutes.

Meanwhile: melt butter in medium bowl and prepare cinnamon sugar. To prepare cinnamon sugar, combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a 1 gallon resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to combine.

Add 1/4 cup of melted butter to the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker, brush butter up the sides or use a paper towel. Set aside.

Using clean kitchen shears, cut dinner rolls into 1/4's. Place a handful of the cut rolls into the butter. Stir to coat. Remove from butter and toss in cinnamon sugar.

Place half of the cinnamon roll bites into the slow cooker in an even layer. Repeat to make 2 even layers. Pour any remaining cinnamon sugar over top and pour remaining butter over top. Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2-3 hours (mine were perfect at 1 hour 45 minutes).

If you place paper towels around the lid of the slow cooker it will help with the consistency of the recipe.

Meanwhile prepare the cream cheese frosting.

In a tall bowl beat cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and continue to mix until incorporated. Add cream and salt. Mix until light and fluffy.

Drizzle frosting over the entire batch of pull apart bread or serve on the side.

Enjoy!
