French Toast Monkey Bread Recipe

When I want to make something extra special for breakfast without a lot of fuss, this French Toast Monkey Bread is my go-to! It starts with refrigerated biscuits {I love a good shortcut} which get cut up and dunked in a sweet and spiced French toast batter. It’s cozy, comforting, and just the right amount of indulgent.

The real magic happens when you pour a buttery maple sauce over the biscuit pieces before baking. As it bakes, the sauce bubbles and caramelizes around the edges, creating gooey, golden pockets of deliciousness in every bite. It smells like a dream and tastes even better, just like this Pumpkin Monkey Bread and Hawaiian Roll French Toast!

This is the recipe I pull out whenever we have guests because it’s always a showstopper. People can’t resist pulling apart the warm, sticky pieces, and it disappears fast! It’s one of those dishes that feels fancy but is secretly so simple—and that’s my kind of breakfast.

How to Make French Toast Monkey Bread

1. First we’ll start with that decadent batter. Combine heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Milk is normally used in French toast batter but I prefer heavy cream.  It gives the dish such richness but milk can always be substituted.
2. Whisk the ingredients together until you have a silky smooth mixture.

3. In two or three batches, dip the quartered biscuits into the batter and completely submerge. Every biscuit should be coated well.  Continue until all of the biscuits have been coated.
4. Place the French toast batter covered biscuits into a Bundt pan that has been liberally sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

5. Pour a melted butter and maple syrup mixture over the coated biscuits, being sure to evenly cover everything.
6. Finally, bake it in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is nicely browned and the biscuits are cooked through.

7. Allow the French Toast Monkey Bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
8. A hefty sprinkling of powdered sugar is the only thing it needs to be totally perfect.

Expert Tips

• Use heavy cream in the French toast batter for an extra creamy and delicious flavor.
• Spray the Bundt pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray so that the Monkey Bread will come out of the pan nicely.
• Make sure every biscuit is totally coated with batter.
• Be sure you allow the Monkey Bread to cool in the Bundt pan for at least 10 minutes, this will allow everything to cool and release from the pan easily.
