If your family loves monkey bread as much as mine does, then you’ll love making my instant pot monkey bread! Yes…I made it in my instant pot. We always have snacks ready to go for my when my nephews get home, and I was way behind on time today. I didn’t have that huge amount of time to devote to making a snack.

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER

Then I became curious, and asked myself if I could actually make monkey bread in my instant pot. I mean, I’ve made parmesan potato wedges (sous vide style), chicken parmesan, and other things; I’ve never made a traditionally “baked good” in it before. I figured what could hurt to try it? I would just be losing out on a can of biscuits. Luckily, my store had biscuits on sale, so I’m pretty okay with the loss if it didn’t turn out good lol.

Instant Pot Monkey Bread? You’re a crazy man!

Yes, I’m a crazy. However, just look at them! They turned out pretty amazing! Unlike the baked version of the monkey bread recipe, it doesn’t crystallize and harden on top from the sugars and caramel sauce that you make for it. It turned out to be more of a bread pudding texture on the outside, but dense on the inside. They come apart just like the baked ones do! So I’m pretty golden in making them often! Plus it doesn’t take that long to make them – almost half the time.

But I don’t want to bore you with the story, so here’s the recipe. YOU’LL LOVE THEM!!! Just an FYI.

Cooking Times Matter In Different Containers

Before getting started, you can use mini non-stick loaf pans. I found this set of 4 mini loaf pans on Amazon, and then I found this set of mini loaf pans, too. Or check out Marshall’s or Homegoods! My two favorite places.

I’ve upgraded to a 7 cup mold! Here’s the mold that I use:7 inch Bundt Pan for Instant Pot Kugelhopf Mold. It’s become one of my most favorite things to use in my Instant Pot!

Refer to the recipe card below in the notes section for a more detailed answer, but there are different cooking times for different cooking containers. Why? Because of much of the Monkey Bread filling can go into it.

Example: You’ll fit less into the mini loaf pans, but more into the bundt pan. So the Bundt pan will take more time to cook then the mini loaf pans.
