About This Recipe

Not only is Blueberry Monkey Bread with Cream Cheese a delicious and indulgent recipe for breakfast, but it’s also easy to make. Using refrigerated biscuit dough all you have to do is toss it with the cinnamon sugar and blueberries. Then the biscuit dough is topped with a simple brown sugar sauce and baked to golden brown perfection. Just pour on the glaze and enjoy the perfect holiday breakfast or brunch!

Chef’s Note

Blueberries are an amazing fruit to add to baked goods and breakfast recipes. Whether that’s Blueberry Muffins, Blueberry Coffee Cake, or this blueberry recipe. The bright sweet and tart flavor wakes you right up. Plus, the blueberry juice adds a little extra moisture to the recipe for extra gooey monkey bread.

How to Store

  • Serve: When the Blueberry Pull-Apart Bread first comes out of the oven, the sugar coating will be very hot. Make sure to let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving so that it doesn’t burn anyone.
  • Store: If there are any leftovers after breakfast, cover them in plastic wrap to store at room temperature or in the fridge. Either way, the Blueberry Cream Cheese Monkey Bread will stay good for about 2 days.
  • Freeze: Unfortunately, monkey bread doesn’t freeze well. The sugar mixture will harden and it won’t defrost well. It’s better just to throw it out if you haven’t finished the bread after a few days.

Variations

  • Blueberry Sauce: Instead of the cream cheese frosting, you can top the monkey bread off with blueberry sauce. Either use canned blueberry pie filling or make your own sauce. To make the berry sauce combine 2 cups blueberries, ½ cup water, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir in a cornstarch slurry to thicken up the sauce.
  • Cream Cheese Pieces: To add an extra cream cheese surprise to the recipe, you can cut up chilled cream cheese into cubes. Toss the cream cheese in with the bread dough as a cream cheese filling. They’ll bake into melty cream cheese pockets in the oven.
  • Berries: You can add a variety of berries along with the blueberries. Strawberries, cherries, raspberries, or blackberries would all taste amazing in Cream Cheese Monkey Bread.
