Have you ever had Monkey Bread before? I’m not sure where it came from, but it’s also called “pull apart bread”, and it’s basically the most delicious thing ever. It’s like a giant cinnamon roll, except here, we are using vegan caramel! I can totally see why it’s called Monkey Bread. When I made it the other week for my kids, the 3 of them (plus a few friends) where picking at it like little monkeys and eating it. So fun, and I definitely got the best mom ever award that day! They’ve been begging me to make it ever since.
How do you make Vegan Caramel Monkey Bread?
First, you make the sticky, sweet dough and let it rise. You can either let it rise in the fridge overnight, or for about 2 hours at room temperature. Make your caramel sauce on the stove in 5 minutes, and then roll the dough into little balls. Layer it in a pan (I used a pie pan, but if you have a bundt pan, use that!).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, the balls should be a little golden brown on top. This is what it will look like out of the oven and before you invert it:
Now flip it over and invert it onto a serving plate large enough to hold it. This is what it will look like once you flip it over: Delicious, ooey, gooey caramel monkey bread!
You can either let everyone pick at it like I did, or cut off larger pieces and serve with more caramel sauce.
