Pina Colada Monkey Bread Recipe

June 16, 2020 by Tiffany Davis 3 Comments

My family loves a good monkey bread recipe. I love how easy monkey bread is to make, even though it looks like I spent hours cooking!

But what is a girl to do when she is dreaming of a tropical vacation but the bank account and travel restrictions say no? Well then make a tropical dessert! Enter in the Pina Colada Monkey Bread Recipe.

A sweet tropical Pina Colada Monkey Bread Recipe.

Pina Colada Monkey Bread Recipe

My original monkey bread recipe calls for canned biscuits and you could certainly use that in the recipe if you want to. BUT let me say that the Kings Hawaiian Sweet Sliced Bread takes the flavor in the Pina Colada Monkey Bread to the NEXT level with both flavor and texture.

This is a terrific dessert but is also a wonderful addition to brunch. I love it with a cup of coffee!

What is Monkey Bread?

Monkey bread is a sticky, sweet, pull-apart dessert. It is really more of a cake than an actual bread.

Why is it call Monkey Bread?

According to wikipedia, “The origin of the term monkey bread comes from the pastry being a finger food; the consumer would pick apart the bread as a monkey would.”.

What make this Pina Colada Monkey Bread?

I’m so glad you asked! The piña colada cocktail is a sweet drink made with rum, coconut milk, and pineapple juice. This monkey bread recipe uses those elements of pineapple and coconut to bring a tropical feel to this traditional recipe.

Is Monkey Bread hard to make?

Not at all! This recipe takes about 5 minute of prep time and only 1 hour of cooking time. You do not have to be an expert baker!

Please note: You’ll find a printable version of the monkey bread recipe below.
