Summer is coming and so are the heat waves. It’s time to dig out the pressure cooker to avoid running the oven and heating up the house. The first dessert to you need to try is this instant pot monkey bread. It’s soft, gooey, and highly addicting.

Monkey Bread (Instant Pot) Ingredients

• melted butter – I always use salted butter when making this recipe. It makes for a delicious sweet and salty monkey bread.
• light brown sugar – always pack the light brown sugar when measuring it. You can also use dark brown sugar or a combination of light and dark brown sugar if needed.
• granulated sugar – the sugar is mixed with the cinnamon and is used to coat all of the biscuits
• ground cinnamon – cinnamon adds the flavor for the monkey bread
• canned biscuits – use the regular sized biscuits that come in the can in the refrigerator section. Don’t use the extra large ones because they won’t all fit in your little bundt pan.

How to make Instant Pot Monkey Bread

1. Start by adding 1 cup of water in your instant pot and placing your wire rack in the center of the pot.
2. Spray the 7-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, add in the butter and microwave until melted.
4. Add the brown sugar to the butter and stir to combine.
5. Pour the mixture into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
6. In a shallow bowl, add in the sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
7. Quarter each biscuit. PRO TIP: I stack the biscuits 3 or 4 high and then cut them to save time.
8. Roll the pieces of biscuit into the cinnamon and sugar. Evenly distribute the biscuits in the bundt pan.
9. Pour melted butter on the top of the biscuits.
10. Cover the bundt pan with plastic wrap or tin foil.
11. Place the bundt pan into the prepared instant pot.
12. Lock the lid of the instant pot and place on high pressure for 25 minutes.
13. When done, turn out onto a rimmed serving plate.
