    Air Fryer Monkey Bread is the perfect sweet breakfast treat in a snap! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, it's the best way to start the weekend or a family holiday.

    My sweet tooth can't be tamed, and sometimes I need a little extra sugar with my coffee to start the day.

    Air Fryer Monkey Bread lets me whip up a dish that's part breakfast, part dessert in less than half an hour!

    This is one of my favorite things to make on Thanksgiving morning.

    It's quick and easy and my family can snack on it throughout breakfast and brunch time until we're ready for the big afternoon feast!

    This recipe saves my baking dishes for the casseroles and side dishes and lets me use my beloved air fryer.

    Air fryer breakfasts are some of my favorite because I don't dirty my whole kitchen before the day starts!

    1. Start by gathering your ingredients! I use store-bought biscuit dough, but you could make your own. Open your biscuits and mix your sugar and cinnamon. You'll need brown sugar and melted butter, too!
    2. Then, cut the biscuits into quarters.
    3. Roll the dough into balls and coat with the cinnamon sugar.
    4. Spray your air fryer pot (or any oven-safe dish that will fit in your basket!) with a neutral oil and add the dough balls. Unlike most air fryer recipes, no need to keep the balls separated!
    5. Next, mix the melted butter and sugar together and pour over the dough. Air fry the monkey bread for about 20 minutes at 320 degrees F (or 160 degrees C!).
    6. Rest the monkey bread for about 5 minutes before turning the pot over to release the bread onto a plate. Serve warm and enjoy!

    How to Store Leftovers

    While some say leaving monkey bread leftovers on the counter is safe, I err on the side of caution and stick to the fridge or the freezer.

    You're safe in the fridge if you're going to eat your leftovers within the week.

    If you want to freeze your baked monkey bread, it will last up to 3 months in the freezer!

    If you freeze your bread, thaw it overnight in the fridge before you plan to reheat it.

    How to Reheat

    Reheating bread is tricky, because you don't want it to get too hard on the inside or lose its crunch on the outside.

    Skip the microwave and use your oven for this one!

    Wrap your leftover monkey bread in aluminum foil and reheat for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

    We are frequently asked about the pot that we use with our air fryer.

    While, you can typically use any oven safe dish, we like this specific Air Fryer Pot.

    We use it to make many recipes. You can purchase it on Amazon.

    Pro Tips

    • Use Any Air Fryer: This recipe can be made in an air fryer unit with a basket or an air fryer oven. If you're using an air fryer oven, place your food on the middle rack and select the "air fry" function.
    • Check your food as it cooks! Since each air fryer runs differently, sometimes air frying is a trial and error process. When cooking a new recipe, be sure to check on your food often. This will help you avoid over or undercooking, and help you learn your air fryer's specific ways!

    This recipe was made in a Cosori Air Fryer with a Basket. The recipe should work in other air fryers.
