I’ve made a few variations of monkey bread, and while those recipes for monkey bread were pretty dang delicious, not one was as finger-lickin’ good as this easy coconut caramel monkey bread.

Sure, there are plenty of caramel monkey bread recipes on the interwebs, but not many are genius enough to throw shredded coconut into the mix. I feel like coconut is always a brilliant idea when it comes to caramel-flavored desserts.

If you haven’t tasted monkey bread with caramel sauce, you haven’t lived. After baked, the bundt pan with that delicious monkey bread is full of ooey, gooey caramel goodness.

One of the best things about this easy coconut caramel monkey bread is a caramel sauce that doesn’t require boiling. I don’t know about you, but I’m not super great at making caramel sauce from scratch.

The caramel sauce in this monkey bread recipes requires only two ingredients: caramel sundae topping + maple syrup. That’s it! No stovetop boiling required!

I’m pretty sure coconut caramel monkey bread needs to be a staple in your collection of easy dessert recipes. Sure, you can make the bread dough from scratch but Pillsbury Grands biscuits make the process so much quicker and easier!

Plus, using refrigerated biscuits and that easy caramel sauce means your kids can totally help you make this monkey bread with caramel sauce and coconut!
