Lazy Saturday mornings are my favorites, followed closely by long afternoon naps. There is no mad dash to get out of the door for work or school and we can lounge around and munch on our favorite snacks. It’s also the perfect time for me to break out and make my favorite Instant Pot recipes.

Have you jumped on the Instant pot bandwagon yet? I jumped in both feet first and have been nothing but happy with it. If you are looking for a kitchen gadget to make life a little easier, you are going to love the Instant pot. Check out all of my favorite Instant Pot recipes here.

Instant Pot Monkey Bread Recipe

Why do I love using my Instant Pot so much? Not only is it easy to use, but you can convert so many recipes that would normally take hours into about one-fourth of the time. Not only is it a time-saver, but you don’t have to sacrifice any of the flavors from cooking all day. It’s amazing, and if you don’t have one, I would highly recommend looking into it!

How to Make Monkey Bread in an Instant Pot

First, you need a smaller than normal bundt cake pan. I picked up a 6 cup bundt pan just for using with my Instant pot. Here are the ingredients needed:

  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 packages of biscuit dough (one butter, one regular flavor cut into small pieces)
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • large ziplock bag
  • 1 1/2 cups of water
  • foil

1. First, add the 1 1/2 cup of water to the Instant pot and add the trivet that came with your pressure cooker.

2. Add the white sugar, cinnamon, and biscuit dough to the ziplock bag. Then shake well until everything is coated.

3. Center a long strip of foil that is rolled into the Instant pot over the trivet with the sides coming up to the top. Place the mixture into your bundt pan, and then place the bundt pan over the foil on the trivet. (We will be using the foil strip as makeshift handles when we remove the bundt pan from the pot after cooking.)

4. Set the lid and turn until locked. Set the manual mode for 20 minutes and allow your bread to cook.

5. Once the timer has finished, do a quick release and carefully remove the monkey bread from the Instant Pot. (Be careful as your bundt pan will still be hot.)

6. Over medium heat melt the butter, vanilla, and brown sugar. Place the monkey bread on a plate, and then drizzle the top with the butter and brown sugar.

      Hi Millie! I would check the diameter of the small Instant Pot (I don’t have a small one so I am not familiar with it) and the diameter of the bundt cake pan and make sure it fits. 🙂 You can generally check those sizes when ordering online.
