Why You’ll Love This Recipe

There’s a reason monkey bread has been beloved for decades—it’s easy, delicious, and brings people together. But what makes this version extra special is its unique twist: baking it on a Traeger grill. The grill adds a subtle smokiness that perfectly complements the sweet cinnamon and rich butter, creating a depth of flavor that’s hard to achieve with an oven alone. Plus, with such a straightforward process, it’s a great recipe for new Traeger users or anyone looking for a foolproof, crowd-pleasing dish.

What Sets This Recipe Apart?

Unlike more complex recipes that call for homemade dough and extra steps, this simplified version is perfect for when you need a quick turnaround without sacrificing taste. The combination of pre-made cinnamon rolls and a homemade butter-brown sugar glaze results in a dish that tastes like you’ve spent hours on it, but takes less than 30 minutes to pull together. The texture is perfectly gooey with slightly crisp edges—everything you want in a good monkey bread.

How to Make Traegered Cinnamon-Roll Monkey Bread

Step 1: Preheat the Traeger

  • Preheat your Traeger grill to 375°F and allow it to come up to temperature for consistent baking.

Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls

  • Open both cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters on a cutting board.
  • Lightly roll each piece in your hands to shape them into smaller, bite-sized portions that are easier to pull apart after baking.

Step 3: Create the Butter Mixture

  • Melt the stick of butter in a glass measuring cup.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup of brown sugar until it’s well combined and has a smooth, glossy appearance.

Step 4: Coat and Assemble

  • Dip each piece of cinnamon roll into the butter mixture, ensuring a full, even coating.
  • Place the coated pieces into the bundt pan in a somewhat even layer. Continue layering until all pieces are coated and placed.

Step 5: Bake on the Traeger

  • Set the bundt pan on the Traeger grill and close the lid.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and bubbling with caramelized goodness.

Step 6: Cool and Invert

  • Allow the monkey bread to cool for about 5-10 minutes to set its shape and make inverting easier.
  • Carefully flip the bundt pan onto a serving plate, ensuring that the bread slides out smoothly.

Step 7: Add the Icing

  • Warm the icing packets in the microwave for a few seconds for easier drizzling.
  • Drizzle the icing over the monkey bread in a zigzag pattern or however you like.

Pro Tips for the Best Monkey Bread

  • Grease the Bundt Pan Well: Make sure to coat every nook and cranny to prevent the monkey bread from sticking when inverted.
  • Add-Ins for Extra Flavor: Want to elevate the flavor? Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts between the layers for added texture and a nutty crunch.
  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with a warm cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk to balance the sweet, buttery richness.

Why the Traeger Grill Makes a Difference

The Traeger grill’s consistent, even heating ensures that your monkey bread bakes to perfection with a subtle, smoky flavor that sets it apart from oven-baked versions. This slight hint of smokiness brings a unique depth to the cinnamon and caramel flavors, creating a warm, comforting taste that’s sure to impress anyone who tries it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long should I let the monkey bread cool?

Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before inverting to help the structure stay intact and make handling easier.

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the monkey bread in the bundt pan, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, simply preheat the Traeger and follow the remaining steps for a freshly baked result.
