Eggnog Monkey Bread
This quick and cozy Eggnog Monkey Bread is made with refrigerated cinnamon rolls, a buttery brown sugar coating, and a splash of eggnog for the ultimate festive treat — all cooked right in the microwave!
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- Eggnog enough to pour 1/3–1/2 of the way up the roll mixture
Instructions
- Open the tube of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into four pieces.
- In a medium bowl, melt 1/3 cup butter and stir in 1/3 cup brown sugar.
- Add the cinnamon roll pieces to the butter mixture and mix until fully coated.
- Grease a microwave-safe Pyrex bowl.
- Place a small bowl or juice glass in the center of the Pyrex to create a ring shape.
- Spoon the coated cinnamon roll pieces around the center bowl.
- Pour eggnog over the rolls until it reaches about 1/3–1/2 the height of the mixture.
- Cover and microwave for 3–4 minutes, or until the monkey bread is puffed and cooked through.
- Remove the center glass carefully.
- Invert the monkey bread onto a plate and serve warm.
Notes
Start with 3 minutes in the microwave and add additional time in 10–15 second increments if needed.
Drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon roll tube for extra sweetness.
A light dusting of nutmeg or powdered sugar adds a festive finishing touch.
Make sure not to overfill with eggnog — too much liquid will affect cooking time.
