Everyone is familiar with and enjoys the classic cinnamon and sugar monkey bread recipe. I was originally introduced to it in middle school home economics class, and the simple recipe has been on repeat ever since. Although cinnamon and sugar are a classic flavor combination, we saw potential for a unique twist. Allow us to offer Orange Monkey Bread, an ideal treat for a weekend brunch or holiday breakfast.

Made in the same pull-apart technique as the original, but with spicy orange! It’s sure to make your house smell divine and have everyone lined up for breakfast.One of the most appealing aspects of this orange monkey bread is its simplicity of preparation. You only need refrigerated biscuit dough, butter, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. This recipe is ideal for cooking with children due to its basic components and technique.

Get kids engaged in the rolling process, and your bread will be ready for the oven in minutes! Bake for 30 minutes while you brew coffee, and breakfast will be ready before you know it. If you’re worried about the top getting too crispy, cover the pan with tinfoil for the last 10 minutes (although we prefer those buttery, crispy parts!).

Whether it’s for Christmas morning or a quiet weekend at home, this Orange Monkey Bread will be a hit with your family. We adore breakfasts that don’t need us to stand by the stove all morning, and this one couldn’t be more delicious! It’s simple to cook and ideal for hosting guests. Give it a shot, and this acidic twist on monkey bread may become your new favorite.
