Bacon Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread combines soft cinnamon roll pieces with crispy bacon and a buttery maple-brown sugar mixture. Everything bakes together in a Bundt pan for a sticky, sweet-and-salty pull-apart breakfast.
Maple and bacon have always been one of my favorite sweet-and-salty combinations. This monkey bread takes that combination and turns it into a fun breakfast that’s especially good when the whole family is together.

How to Make Bacon Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread
Make the Maple Mixture: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the butter, then stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Cook for about 1 minute, until the sugar dissolves.
Prepare the Pan: Spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray. Pour the maple mixture into the bottom of the pan and sprinkle a layer of cooked bacon over it.
Layer the Monkey Bread: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Layer the cinnamon roll pieces and remaining bacon in the Bundt pan until everything is used.
Bake: Bake for about 35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Carefully invert the Bundt pan onto a serving platter.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Cook the Bacon First: Crisp bacon works best and keeps extra grease out of the monkey bread.
- Cut Even Pieces: Quarter the cinnamon rolls so they bake evenly.
- Grease the Pan Well: This helps the sticky monkey bread release cleanly.
- Flip While Warm: Let it rest just a few minutes before carefully turning it onto a platter.
Storage
Store leftover Bacon Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual pieces in the microwave or air fryer until warm.
