These Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread Foil Packets are gooey, sweet and sinful! There’s only five ingredients in these breakfast foil packets and they are perfect for grilling or making over the campfire. Plus, they are fun to eat and easy to clean up.

The kids will love to make this breakfast treat and they totally can, well you might want to help them cut up the cinnamon rolls depending on their age, but after that let them shake the bag with the rolls and cinnamon sugar in them, fill the packets and wrap them up.

Why this recipe works:

• Easy cleanup because it cooks in aluminum foil.
• Can be made in the oven, on the grill or over the campfire.

What is Monkey Bread?

• Monkey bread is also known as sticky bread, gold crown, pinch-me cake, pluck-it cake and monkey puzzle bread
• It is a soft, sweet and sticky pastry served in the U.S. for breakfast or as a treat. My version is made out of cinnamon rolls for a quick easy monkey bread recipe
• It consists of pieces of soft baked dough that have been sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Don’t forget the butter!

Ingredients Needed

• Sugar
• Cinnamon
• Cold butter
• Brown sugar
• Cinnamon rolls with icing

Steps to Prepare

Expert Tips

• Use a scissors to cut the rolls to make it quick and simple.
• Spray the foil before filling it to prevent sticking
• Make sure to evenly cook the foil packets so they don’t burn. You want to monitor your temperature and rotate them through the cooking process
• Love nuts? Add some pecans to your foil packets. Have others that don’t? You can skip them on one of the foil packets

I do know that if I was into camping these Monkey Bread Foil Packets would be on my menu. They are so delicious and so easy. Plus, camping friendly because you hardly need anything to make them and almost everything is disposable. Heck, you could even use a plastic knife to cut the cinnamon rolls up if you needed too!
