Try a citrus-cardamom monkey bread by adding citrus zest and ground cardamom to the brown sugar mixture, or simply add a splash of vanilla. Pumpkin spice seasoning will give each bite a seasonal nod. Anything with butter can be made better by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brown-butter\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brown-butter\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brown butter<\/a> instead, so try browning the butter to make extra-decadent monkey bread with cinnamon rolls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a different glaze:<\/strong> Instead of using the glaze that comes with the tube of cinnamon rolls, try topping your monkey bread with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caramel-sauce-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caramel-sauce-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">caramel sauce<\/a>, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-ganache\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-ganache\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chocolate ganache<\/a> or a pumpkin-flavored cream cheese glaze.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread<\/h2>\n<p>The best place to store this cinnamon roll monkey bread is in your stomach! Truly though, this recipe is best eaten immediately when it is super fresh and soft. You can store any leftovers you do have at room temperature in an airtight container or in resealable bags.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does cinnamon roll monkey bread last?<\/h3>\n<p>Cinnamon roll monkey bread is definitely best on the day it&#8217;s made, but it will still be tasty, just not as saucy, after a couple of days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze cinnamon roll monkey bread?<\/h3>\n<p>We don&#8217;t recommend freezing cooked monkey bread. Thawing it will affect the pillowy texture, which is maybe the best part. However, you can assemble the monkey bread and freeze the raw dough, then pull it from the freezer the night before you want to bake it.<\/p>\n<h2>Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2116992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Cinnamon-Roll-Monkey-Bread_TOHcom25_278699_DR_01_22_08b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"a close-up shot of a portion of a monkey bread, on a light colored plate; the focus is on two pieces of the dessert, one slightly separated from the rest, revealing the soft, textured interior; a white, creamy icing is drizzled over the top, the background is blurred\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you know when monkey bread with cinnamon rolls is done baking?<\/h3>\n<p>Cinnamon roll monkey bread is done when the top is golden brown and a thermometer reads 200\u00b0.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with cinnamon roll monkey bread?<\/h3>\n<p>Cinnamon roll monkey bread is delicious enough to be served on its own, but it really shines on a brunch spread.
