Easy Breakfast Ideas: French Toast Monkey Bread Recipe

This breakfast is the best of two worlds…monkey bread and French toast.  Sometimes I think it is fun to take a traditional dish and change it up.  Using French toast batter to coat refrigerator biscuits and bake in a Bundt pan is always a good idea.  The best part however is the maple butter glaze that is baked right into the dish.  Every last bite is pure magic!  End with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and enjoy every last bite.  All you have to do is scroll down to get the recipe and get started.

While breakfast isn’t always my favorite meal of day, things like this French Toast Monkey Bread can totally change my mind.

Soft and pillowy biscuits that are loaded with French Toast flavor and baked to perfection are my idea of awesome.  Although the sprinkling of powdered sugar isn’t bad either.

I love that I can have it ready for my family in no time and everyone is dying to dig in as the aroma is filling the house.

Every single bite of this Monkey Bread is French Toast made even better.

My Favorite French Toast Money Bread 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.

Whisk the ingredients together until you have a silky smooth mixture.

Look at all of those pockets of cinnamon!!

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.

Place the French toast batter covered biscuits into a Bundt pan that has been liberally sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Pour a melted butter and maple syrup mixture over the coated biscuits, being sure to evenly cover everything.

It looks pretty heavenly even before it bakes!

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.

Allow the French Toast Monkey Bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.

A hefty sprinkling of powdered sugar is the only thing it needs to be totally perfect.

Let everyone pull up a chair and grab a bunch of biscuits, drizzle with a little additional maple syrup and enjoy every single bite.

This breakfast is both fun and extra delicious!  Don’t wait to try it, grab the recipe and make it today.
