1:03 “Pre-made biscuit dough in a container, this is the easy part” - Tell that to the people with fears of opening those cans
LOL I know right, those cans are like jack in the boxes on crack! haha
😆

Omg! Wao. Se ve delicioso. Gracias. Saludos desde Panamá 🇵🇦
You are welcome, Ana! Thanks for watching in Panama :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt tanks sure. 👏👏👏👏 excelent 👍
This is such a great recipe I do all the things you did in the video except for I add a little twist, where I put cream cheese in the middle of the biscuit before baking...so good
Nice! And thank you!
Matt the way that I have always made this is to melt the butter on low in a small sauce pan and then add cinnamon and sugar and mix well. Yours looked like it wasn’t mixed thoroughly. I think the heat melts the sugar, kinda creates a caramel ish mixture. Oh and pour all of the butter and brown sugar/ cinnamon sugar mixture in there. You left the good stuff in the bowl, what was poured in was mostly just butter.
You can certainly do it that way if you like. :) This recipe has a higher ratio of melted butter to brown sugar than others. It is supposed to be like that. With that said you can make that part however you like. :)
This is amazing ,I am going to try this😃
Thank you! Good luck, let me know how it turns out. :)
I am making this today. You are a very talented chef keep up the good work
Thank you, Josh! Let me know how they turn out. :)

You are welcome! :)
I love your cinnamon rolls too im enjoying watching and learning from you thank you so much my friends loves my cinnamon rolls 😍😍😍
Well thank you! :)
😂😂 I had to pause the video in the middle of watching just to comment. "Matt that's a lot of sugar". Matt in his sugar seductive voice, "YES it is". Ha ha ha love it! So many ppl I know have never heard of monkey bread. It's soooo good and a delicious treat especially for the holidays or when u have overnight guests over. They'll be so impressed and it's so easy. Shhhh. Plus a bundt pan makes everything fancier.
hahaha thank you!! :)
This looks yummy! I'm going to make one with pecans.
Thank you! yeah, pecans are awesome with this!
Thanks☺
You are welcome!
Great recipe Matt!
Thank you, Willow! :)
Yummy 😋 looks delicious. Can't wait to make it for Thanksgiving
Thank you! :)
Nice recipe Matt! We don't get the pre-made biscuit dough here. Will try with the cinnamon dough recipe. Thank you Matt!
Thank you Anne! :) Yes please do and let me know what you think. :)
In The Kitchen With Matt Your welcome Matt! Will let u know.😊
Awesome! :)
Looks GOOD! 😛
Thank you!
I learned to simmer my butter and brown sugar a little bit so it doesnt seperate, that way when it bakes it almost hardens up on the monkey bread and isnt so wet. That would be the one change id make to your recipe
If you don't use as much butter, it won't be that wet. But I like it like this. :) And you can make it more like a paste like for cinnamon rolls, and you get the same effect like you are referring to. It winds up being more like this recipe kzhead.info/sun/bLuAdN5rq2N-a4E/bejne.html
Great to make
Thanks!
Question. Could you put prepared apples like for apple pie filling on top instead of the butter sugar mix? I also want to put the apples as a layer between pull apart pieces, but I am concerned the dough might not completely cook that way. Thoughts?
I don't see why not, I haven't tried that specifically but it seems like it would work fine. I think putting them in between would be fine too. A fun experiment to try!
Looks delicious
Thank you Henry! :)
Did it, it's good 👍😊💓
Glad you tried it and liked it!
I love the way you make Monkey Bread, Mr. Taylor. it looks so delicious.
Thanks!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt no problem at all.
Love monkey bread. Time to make some. Ty for the reminder
You are welcome! :)
Monkey bread really is the most incredible thing!!!! 🐒 🍞 Loving this 👍👍❤️❤️
Thanks!! haha :)
This guy is soo nice he replied to so many people
Thank you, Jayden! I do try and reply to as many people as I can. :)
I didnt even notice that you sit down in your videos. I'm making this today. From scratch though. Dough is rising :D your recipe looked the best out of all the ones I watched.
Thanks!! That is cool you didn't notice. I wouldn't normally. My earlier videos are done in my kitchen, but it is really small and very hard to get the exact angles I want in there. Someday when I have a new home and kitchen I will be back to standing! lol :) Yes! You can totally make them from scratch using your favorite homemade biscuit or bread dough. I have recipes for those here on my channel if you need one. :) Let me know how it turns out!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Hey! The Monkey Bread was a HIT. Thank you so so much!!!!
@@10qoal So glad you liked it, Amanda! You are welcome!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I am actually making up 2 more batches tomorrow for a couple of families in our community.
@@10qoal So nice of you! :)
Best simplest recipe i love it but i am going to make mine with grands cinnamon rolls!!!!! Oh yeah!!! THEN GLAZE IT WITH THE CREAM CHEESE ICING
Thank you! Yes, that will be amazing!
Love it
Thanks so much!
I love it
Thank you!!
There always seems to be a 'but'. Easy, very easy to make and its's really really good. Followed your recipe exactly. (3/4 cup) of butter for these. Great color and thinking perfectly cooked. Oh yeah, consuming warm minutes out of the oven, yum. But.....later in the day and certainly the next morning it hardens up. Yes nuking it gives it life again but is this the nature of the product? 'Yes I did cover it'.
Hi Mike, yes that is the nature of the product, especially with biscuit dough. :) Definitely best eaten fresh. Or like you did, you can nuke it for a few seconds to soften up leftovers that have been in the fridge. :) Glad you tried it and liked it!
Opening up those biscuit tons is honestly one of the more stressful things I can do but the recipe is really good.
lol I know right? You never know when it is going to pop on you.
🤔 Can you use cinnamon rolls instead of biscuit dough ??? Ima try it and I think its going to be irresistible 😍
Yes!! You could totally do that, pretty much any bread dough would work, although biscuit dough is kind of the common way. That would be amazing with cinnamon rolls!
Hey boo this look so moist I want some.
It is pretty yummy!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Hoorah
If it is meant to be eaten warm, could I possibly reheat it in the microwave and would it taste the same?
You certainly can, it will taste a little different, which happens when you reheat bread related products in the microwave. But 15 seconds should do the trick. :)
do you have to use a brundt cake pan for this, or can you use other pans?
Nope, although that is the classic shape, you can use any pan that you want. :) The baking time will probably vary.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks for the help!
@@albertgether6635 You are welcome! :)
How long would you bake if they were in muffin tin? Tia
Hi Tia, 12 to 15 minutes at 350 F/176 C. :)
ahh. . . YUM!!!!
Thank you! :)
yummy!!!!!
Thank you!
Yummy 😋
Thank you!
Salted or unsalted butter?
Hello Julie I usually always use unsalted, but you can use salted too if you like. :)
What glaze could i put on top. The ingredients
You could use like a classic cinnamon roll vanilla glaze if you like, start with a cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract, 1 Tbsp. of melted butter, then slowly add a Tbsp of milk at a time until you get your desired consistency. If you accidentally add too much milk, just add in some extra powdered sugar. :)
Cream cheese frosting is also really good on top of it, not too hard to make homemade but the stores also have good ones they sell!
Hey Matt, how many of the big biscuits did you use for that recipe???
Hi Jackie, 3 10-ounce containers. The information is down in the description box underneath the video. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks. :)
@@jackieperkins691 You are welcome!
Sounds and looks weird but delicious 😝😝😝
lol yes it does look weird. haha This particular one is especially gooey. haha. But you need the caramel (butter and sugar) to help them all stick together. an oh do they taste yummy.
Baking in the oven now!
Awesome!
Do we need pre packaged dough?
No, you can use whatever kind of biscuit or bread dough that you like. :) Traditionally this style is just made with premade biscuit dough.
You can buy frozen bread dough and just have it thaw out then you can cut it into pieces and it turns out just as well!
@@faithv9469 For sure!
Looks delicious!!! New Subscriber here.
Thank you, Evie! :)
Could Stevia be used instead of Sugar if someone is Diabetic ?
I haven't tried it with this, but I don't see why not. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out. Experimentation is fun in the kitchen. :)
B. W. Starkey I used Stevia. It was great
Hey, did you use two cans of the biscuit dough?
I used three 10 ounce cans. :) But you can use as many as you want, and then just reduce the amount of butter and sugar to compensate if you don't want to make that much.
In The Kitchen With Matt thank you so much!
@@miannsledge8402 You are welcome!
How many sticks of butter do you use
Hi Danielle all the ingredients and amounts are in the description box below the video. 3/4 cup which is 1 and 1/2 standard sticks of butter.
If you use pecans-is the baking time the same?
Hi Jim, yep it sure is! Make sure to spray the pan or grease with shortening. 30 to 35 minutes will do it. Closer to 35 though. :)
This is an old fashioned recipe, originating from the 40's I believe; and I have often wondered why all of our old fashioned recipes have been left behind in the race for new and gastronomical delights, depending on one's view of them. I yearn for desserts that my Grandmothers used to make when I was a child: such as Lemon Icebox Cake, Baked Dumplings, Ice cream and Sherbet etc; and those of my English Grandmother also: such as Suet Puddings, Spotted Dick, Apple Dumplings and so much more... The Monkey Loaf is a blast from the past, but shouldn't be, along with so much else that our childhoods consisted of; very likely healthier too... Good one Matt! A particular favourite of mine (altho not a dessert, and from the european side of my family) was *huge* Baked Onions served with a white sauce poured over them. At least they seemed huge to me at the time. Of course, I never realized it at the time but it was considered a cheap and extremely healthy source of vitamins and minerals (onions have so many health benefits, impossible to list here) a throw back from the war recipes, since apparently rationing went on in europe long after the war ended. But they were delicious. More old fashioned recipes please, Matt! :)
Old fashioned recipes are awesome! Might need to start doing recipes from Julia Child! lol I like how they can bring up old fond memories with every bite. But to be honest this dish is not very healthy! LOL but that is to be expected. With that said, you can alway use less butter and sugar for everything. And what I like is the versatility, if you want them super gooey add more, bake it a little less, if you want them with a bit of a crunch on the top, and more dry, use less butter and sugar. I even don't mind it cold. I am pulling pieces off of it in the fridge and not even heating them up first right now. lol
Lauren Piantino Hi, well said- I agree, I love old fashioned recipes. I saved some cookbooks of my mom's going back to the fifties, but would give anything if my family had saved my grandma's! ... I'm with Lauren, Matt, love all your videos, but request more of the old classics, please :-)
:) Awesome! Let's have some specific suggestions/requests for some old classics :)
Thanks In The Kitchen With Matt! :-) I have to ask my family next time we get together which recipes they remember that our grandmas used- and, I faintly recall my grandma mentioning recipes HER mother used, wish I had written down what she said... for now I recall my parents talking about them using a lot of nutmeg in desserts, particularly apple desserts- I could be wrong, but I think nutmeg was used a lot more in those days than now... also I think they made milk gravy more often back in the day- my mom used to say her mother made that often, and she would make it herself- it was delicious- very simple recipe, but I loved it... which reminds me, have you ever made a video on how to make the best milk gravy? If not, that's another request I'll make... well, I'm not asking much today, am I? haha :-D Lol Thanks!
lol. OK then: Sussex Pond Pudding Bread Pudding Bread and Butter Pudding Any of the steamed puddings, i.e. Suet Treacle Pudding (not pie) Spotted Dick Jam Roly Poly Victoria Sandwich Tea Cakes Steamed Cherry Bakewell Pudding Rhubarb Crumble and Custard (awesome!) Jelly/Jello Mousse (Just two ingredients, but a mite tricky) That's just to start with... :) And, lol, I have a 'to die for' Rice Pudding recipe handed down to me by my Mother that will make y'all want more than a second helping. :)
can i also use raw brown sugar if i don't have white or brown sugar??
That should work fine.
Can you put like powered sugar over the top on Monkey bread make an icing and pour it over it.
Absolutely you sure can! Use the same style of icing that you would put on cinnamon rolls.
I have all the ingredients. I must be blind 😂. How much butter? Making this Christmas morning. Thank you. I’ll tell you how I do.
3/4 cup of butter all the ingredients are listed in the description box. :) You are welcome! Have fun!
I’ll let you know Christmas Day. Thanks
Welcome!@@oldschool1189
I want to make this but with homemade biscuit dough. How many cups of flour would be equivalent to the amount you made? Thank you!
Hello you need about 30 ounces of total biscuit dough. If using a homemade biscuit recipe It is probably double or triple the recipe. if you have some leftover you can just bake them separately.
Thank you! I was able to adjust the measurements just enough and made the perfect amount. I wanted mine to be more on the dense and chewy side (I’m trying to recreate BJ’s monkeybread pizookie), so I slightly reduced the amount of baking powder and milk. While it tasted amazing, it was very crumbly and not “pull-apart” at all. Any advice on how to remedy this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again!
@@PurpleEpicness333 It was very crumbly because there wasn't enough moisture. Don't reduce the milk next time. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt okay, thank you!
@@PurpleEpicness333 You are welcome!
Can you use banana's instead of nuts
You probably could, I haven't tried it specifically. But I don't see why you couldn't put bananas on top of it instead of nuts. 👍
What about mini loaf pans
Yes you can use any loaf pans for this, it doesn't have to be a bundt pan. The baking times will vary depending on which pan you use so just keep an eye on them and check them sooner if you use the smaller pans.
How much brn sugar and how much butter
Hi Janet all the ingredients and amounts are listed in the description box below the video. Also a link to the recipe on my website. Ingredients: 3 - 10 ounce containers of pre-made biscuit dough 3/4 cup of white granulated sugar (150g) 3 tsp. or 1 tbsp of cinnamon (8g) 3/4 cup of melted butter (185g) 3/4 cup of Brown sugar or White granulated sugar (150g)
But mine in the oven made mini muffin monkey bread I’ll edit and tell you how it taste I never tasted it before Edit: just came out of the oven they look great I used the flakey biscuit dough and it still looks nice I’ll edit once I Try it
Cool!
What’s the link for his cinnamon roll bread?
Here you go! kzhead.info/sun/nMiCfq5trXqja5E/bejne.html
Hi, Matt. My maiden name is Taylor ... I think we're cousins (or at least I identify as such). Love you!
hahaha awesome!! :) Thank you!
How much butter did you use??
Hey Brandon! 1 cup of butter, but you really don't need that much, you can probably get away with only 1/2 cup. Down below the video in the description box you can find the list of the ingredients and the amounts. Also a link to the recipe on my website. :)
Can i use pre-made pizza dough? (That's all we have here in australia for pre made dough)
Sure! That should work fine, pretty much any bread or biscuit dough should work. Although depending on the dough you may need to bake it a bit longer, just keep an eye on it. :) :) Let me know how it goes!
I love you monkey bread
Thank you!
Why does everyone says that opening a can of biscuits its nothing to it. They act like they are scared to death of opening up biscuits. Lol
hahaha because you never know when the actual pop is going to happen, haha.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt haha that shouldn't matter just some people is more scared than others
@@ruthworman2733 Or they aren't used to it. It can be very startling if you have never opened them before. Just because it doesn't startle you, doesn't mean it doesn't make other people startled/jump, hahaha.
This has diabeetus written all over it lol damn sugar problem. But sooooooo gooey good. Do u deliver?? 30 mins or its free right :-)
lol :) :) You could always just reduce the amount of sugar and butter, or just eat smaller portions, lol.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt have u ever just substituted the sugar for splenda or trivia? And if so how'd it turn out. And why are all the great tasting items on this planet so toxic lol its just cruel.
@@tams7arlynn761 hahaha no, I don't use splenda, trivia, or any of that stuff. Sometimes different sweeteners, but only when doing keto specific dishes. I am not sure if the camarel gooeyness would form properly, but hey any sweetener with butter sounds like it will work, lol. But no, I haven't tried it specifically.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt let's just be honest lol we like these treats because of how they taste and that taste comes from butter and sugar so what do ya do. Make a half batch an smaller portions lol. I'm making this tonight for my mom who's birthday is tomorrow . good thing she's not diabetic. But thank u for sharing this recipe and also thank u for responding. Stay safe and have a great day :-)
@@tams7arlynn761 lol I know right? lol :) Awesome! Good luck and have fun, let me know how it turns out. :)
Caramel-Ring-Around!
lol yeah!!
How much butter was that? I can’t open the recipe and you never said how much it was.
the recipe is in the description box, not just the link, but all the ingredients are listed there. If you are on a mobile phone, there is a triangle in the lower right corner under the video that you press to show the description box. Others it is easy to find on a desktop. 3/4 cup of butter.
How many biscuits are there in each can?
Usually 8 to 10 biscuits per can.
Thank you
@@lieraj6349 You are very welcome! You can also just make homemade biscuits too. I have a recipe for those here on my channel as well.
How much butter
3/4 cup (185g). It is listed in the description box.
I think when I try this recipe I will add chocolate chips and pecans!!!
Yummy! :)
How long does this last?
It will stay freshest for about 2 days at room temperature covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. Then an additional couple of days in the fridge. It also can be frozen for a few months. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt awesome thank you!
@@camribulls641 You are welcome!
"This is three teaspoons of cinnamon" or to the rest of the world "one tablespoon of cinnamon" If you really want to up this, add some finely ground coffee to the mix.
Yes, they are the same, although American teaspoons are not the same as Imperial teaspoons. And no it wouldn't up it, if you don't like coffee.
