Mini Garlic Monkey Bread
Mini garlic bread that comes together in just 10 minutes – so buttery, so garlicky and just so easy!
I’m not one to cut corners but when it comes to Thanksgiving, I’ll take any shortcut available. After all, you have 8 things in the oven, the guests are all waiting and hungry, and one of your pies you were supposed to pick up ran out of stock.
There’s enough stress going around so that’s where these mini monkey breads come in.
They look super fancy, they’re amazingly buttery loaded with garlicky goodness, and they take just 10 minutes to put together. Done and done.
Although I should warn you that these mini breads will disappear fast so if I were you, I’d keep an extra stash hidden somewhere in the house to keep for yourself!
Mini Garlic Monkey Bread
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 12-cup standard muffin tin or coat with nonstick spray.
- Cut each of the 8 biscuits into eighths, making 64 pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together butter, Parmesan, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley and salt, reserving 2 tablespoons; set aside. Stir in biscuit pieces and gently toss to combine.
- Drop 5-6 pieces into each muffin cup. Using your fingertips, gently press the last piece in the center.
- Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, brushed with remaining butter mixture.

I don’t normally cook with premade ingredients or biscuits but these were amazing!! So so delicious and everyone loved them from mature to very young…including the grandkids. This is definitely a keeper!
The best garlic bread I have ever had
1. Could you make these into mini pizzas?
2.Can you use processed parmesan cheese instead of fresh?
3. What would the ratio of garlic powder be to fresh…if we didn’t have access to any fresh?
4. would you recommend a marinara sauce as an addition?
Thank you
These were really good. I followed the instructions exactly and made two batches. I was worried that the garlic would burn in the oven but it didn’t.
Actually, I added a couple extra tablespoons of butter to the mixture. It helped coat it easier.
Fairly easy to make. However when you make them be sure to put a pan under the muffin tin. They expanded so much that the butter pushed out of the tin and started smoking in the oven. Currently trying to air out my house lol.
We made these twice . First time very good ! 2nd time increased the butter bout 25%, me!ted it just little so would coat better , saved a little for brushing on later. They were excellent. Didn’t finish my spaghetti cause I wanted them all.
This were so delicious and so simple to make! Will definitely be making them again.
OMG, This recipe is so amazing…I am a bread lover and I technically shouldn’t be eating it, per MD..BUT..when I saw this recipe; I had to try it. Did I say..OMG..The dough gets infused with the garlic – herb butter blend as it bakes in the oven. If you love garlic, and you love bread…You are going to make this quick and easy recipe a keeper..
Thank you for the recipe.
Made these for dinner at a friend’s house last night and her fiancé, who is a chef by profession, asked for the recipe. I mixed it up ahead (about 2.5 hrs) and just took the filled muffin tin over, to minimize prep at her home and allow me more time to socialize out of the kitchen. Made the mistake of melting the butter first and then dropping the biscuit pieces into the butter as I cut them — didn’t occur to me that the cool biscuits would immediately start cooling the butter mix (duh!). It still worked out ok, though. I followed someone else’s tip on making more butter mix than the recipe called for (1.5x) and that was the perfect amount.
Can I use Grands frozen Southern Biscuits for this.? Ty!
These were delicious little mini-breads! I followed the recipe exactly but had to make up a little more butter/garlic/parmesan mixture to brush over the breads at the end of cooking. My family loved them so much I made a second batch the next day and we devoured them right out of the oven. You would never know these started with refrigerated biscuits. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipe. They are our new favorite!
These are so yummy! I’ve made these the last two Thanksgivings because they were such a hit the first time. Getting ready to make them again for this Thanksgiving as well. They’ve sort of become a tradition you could say. Thank you for sharing.
I want to make these for dinner but I do not have a muffin pan here where I’m staying, can I do them on a cookie sheet?
Jo, I worry that these won’t retain their shape when using a cookie sheet. 🙁
This looks soooo good!! But I hate using canned biscuits as I really enjoy making everything from scratch — is there any reason it would vary if I make my own biscuit dough?
I don’t see why it would! 🙂
Turned out so good. I used garlic salt instead of garlic and i didnt have any oregano but they still turned out so nice. I also had to cook the a little longer, might of been because of the biscuits i had. Love them
Made these for Thanksgiving! My family life them!
So, made them again the day after to go with the turkey soup! Thanks for this yummy and easy recipe!
Can these be prepared early and baked later? Sending to friends on a Meal Train who won’t eat until later.
Yes, absolutely.
If i made this recipe earlier in the day would they taste alright if i reheated them in the microwave later. Or even the next day?
Yes, absolutely.
I just made these and they are incredible!
My oven runs hot so 375 was good for me
Thank you so much for the recipe! !!
Just came across your mini garlic monkey bread recipe. Looks delicious.
Can this be prepped earlier in day, put in muffin pan and kept in fridge till ready to put in oven ??? Or should I not put in fridge ?
Yes, you can prep ahead of time and store in the refrigerator.
