This gooey, delicious peanut butter monkey bread is one of our favorite homemade recipes for dessert or brunch. It’s an interesting twist on sweet, pull-apart traditional monkey bread with the addition of creamy peanut butter that your family will beg for again and again. 

Peanut Butter Monkey Bread Ingredients

This peanut butter monkey bread is a delectable treat featuring a rich and sweet peanut butter flavor that’s complemented by cream cheese.

The biscuit dough offers a soft and gooey texture, while the cinnamon and sugar mixture adds a delightful sweetness.

Substitutions And Additions

TOPPINGS: Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips or peanut butter chips on top of the peanut butter icing for an extra decadent treat.

Chopped pecans would also be delicious sprinkled on top of the monkey bread before serving.

PEANUT BUTTER: If you’re looking to switch things up, consider experimenting with different nut or seed butter like almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter.

Each alternative will bring its unique flavor, so choose the one that suits your taste or dietary needs. Just be aware that the substitution may slightly alter the overall taste of the monkey bread.

CINNAMON: If you’re not a fan of cinnamon or want a different spice profile, consider using pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cardamom for a unique twist.

How To Make This Peanut Butter Monkey Bread Recipe

We will show you how to layer the soft biscuits with the peanut butter mixture with our step-by-step instructions below.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the sugar and cinnamon in a plastic ziplock bag.

STEP TWO: Remove the biscuits from one can of dough and cut each biscuit into quarters (a total of 32 pieces).

STEP THREE: Place the biscuit dough, a few pieces at a time, in the plastic bag and shake until well coated with the cinnamon mixture.

Continue until all pieces of biscuits are coated.

STEP FOUR: Place the 32 biscuit pieces into the bottom of a well-greased Bundt pan.

STEP FIVE: Mix the quarter cup of peanut butter and softened cream cheese together until smooth.

STEP SIX: Spoon the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture over the first layer of biscuits going all the way around the pan.

STEP SEVEN: Repeat steps two to four with the remaining can of biscuits, layering the sugar-coated biscuits on top of the layer of peanut butter and cream cheese biscuits.

STEP EIGHT: In a large microwaveable bowl, melt butter. Add the remaining sugar from the plastic storage bag to the melted butter and stir until the sugar dissolves.

STEP NINE: Pour this mixture over the biscuits. Shake the pan to distribute the mixture all around the biscuits.

STEP TEN: Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven until golden brown.

STEP ELEVEN: Rest the pan on the counter for ten minutes before flipping it onto a serving plate.

For The Icing

STEP ONE: Add the powdered sugar and peanut butter to a small bowl. Mix with a mixer until smooth.

STEP TWO: Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a slightly thick, pourable consistency.

STEP THREE: Pour over the plated monkey bread. Save a little extra to pour over individual pieces if desired.
