Gluten-Free Monkey Bread W/ Caramel Sauce

Monkey Bread

This ooey-gooey Monkey Bread is a cinch to prepare and great for little ones who love to help in the kitchen! Bread SRSLY Dinner Rolls make the perfect base for this tear and share brunch dish, made with sweet maple and crunchy pecans!

We're using a gluten-free sourdough dinner rolls with a sweet cinnamon mixture poured on top. This recipe goes super well with baked apples and pecans. Serve for holiday breakfast or as a delicious brunch treat!

I love this gluten-free dinner rolls because they're soft and pillowy and made with wonderfully wholesome ingredients. You can use any of your favorite gluten-free breads. If using sliced bread, cut into two inch thick cubes and pack tightly into a bundt tray.

Cornstarch or arrowroot powder is mixed with cinnamon and sugar to draw excess moisture from the mixture, creating a light and fluffy bake. Make a quick caramel sauce with melted butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar. This elevates the dish making it have that rich, ooey-gooey texture that defines monkey bread.

This recipe is completely gluten-free. Make it vegan with a vegan butter.
