Slow Cooker Caramel Pecan Monkey Bread
Description
This recipe begins by cutting canned large flaky biscuits into quarters, then dipping them first in melted butter and then in a cinnamon and granulated sugar mixture. These biscuit pieces are arranged in a single layer in a greased slow cooker. Brown sugar and pecans are sprinkled over the top, followed by the remaining melted butter. This layering ensures sweetness and nutty flavor throughout the bread.
The slow cooker is set to low heat for 2 1/2 hours to cook the dough thoroughly, resulting in tender, fully baked biscuit pieces that pull apart easily. After cooking, caramel sauce (from ice cream topping or melted caramels) is drizzled over the monkey bread for added richness and sticky sweetness.
This method creates a warm, gooey pull-apart bread combining spiced sweetness, buttery pecans, and rich caramel. It’s convenient to prepare and keep warm in the slow cooker for serving.
Serving directly from the slow cooker preserves warmth and keeps the caramel sauce nicely melted for easy dipping and sharing.
Ingredients
- 1 can large flaky biscuits sometimes referred to as "grand" biscuits, refrigerated
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup pecans
- ⅓ cup caramel sauce (ice cream topping or simply melted caramels)
Instructions
- Grease slow cooker and place melted butter in a small bowl. Cut biscuits into quarters. Whisk together granulated sugar and cinnamon in a second small bowl.
- Dip biscuit quarters into butter, tossing to coat evenly, then dip in cinnamon-sugar mixture, tossing to coat evenly, and place in the bottom of the slow cooker. Repeat with remaining biscuit quarters. (Be sure to make just one layer, biscuits will be tightly squished).
- Sprinkle brown sugar and pecans over the top of the biscuits and pour remaining melted butter over the top.
- Cover and cook for 2 1/2 hours on low or until dough is cooked thoroughly. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and serve hot.
Notes
- Serve the monkey bread straight from the slow cooker to maintain the warm, gooey caramel sauce consistency.
