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 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.

Hi! I was just wondering if the bake time would be the same if I took off the seasoning. Thanks!
Yes, the bake time will remain the same.
Hi
i made this today and it came out very good. Only one thing is I put too many biscuit pieces in one cup muffin tin.
if anyone wanna make this please make sure you are not put more than 7 pieces per muffin tin cup. Apart from that (which is my mistake) it is really good recipe.
thank you for the recipe.
Can fresh herbs be used instead of dried?
Yes, absolutely. The ratio for dry to fresh herbs is typically 1:3.
Could I do these in a bundt pan instead?
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment.
How much parmesan cheese
The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan.
I made these last weekend, but a bit differently. I used the pilsbury country biscuits cut into 4 pieces. I added 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the butter mixture. I only put f our pieces in each muffin space, so the 5 of us each had 2 italian monkey bread each to go with our beef stew. It was a great hit!
Made these last night and they were an absolute hit! I loved how easy they were to make, too.
Thank you for sharing this!
Made these with our Christmas Eve dinner an they were amazing! I couldn’t stop eating them and everyone loved them. Thank you!
I am making these for Christmas dinner and just wanted to be sure I bought the right bisquits! Are they the home style bisquits or the flaky layer bisquits? TIA!!!
You can really use either or – it’s up to you!
These look amazing. I thought I would make them for thanksgiving. I am having 36 people and anything I can do ahead of time is the best. Can I prepare these earlier in the day and bake them before we eat? Or is there any steps I could do earlier? Thanks!
Yes, absolutely. You can prep everything beforehand and bake right before serving.
Oops, just saw your response, above!
I made these tonight and my family fought over them. They were delicious.
Can I use a tube of refrigerated country biscuits rather than buttermilk? I don’t know if that’s the same thing, but that’s what I have in the fridge (Pillsbury).
Thanks!
can I use my regular bun recipe
Yes, absolutely.
I just made these this morning….at 7 am. Yeah, I know, too early….but not for me! Been saving this recipe for days now coz I was thinking what else to make from my Pillsbury biscuits dough and I miss the garlic knots with salsa dip we get in Hawaii…sadly, kids are getting tired of just the plain biscuit/butter/honey thing…and this was just perfect for it. You are right, it’s so damn delish! Thank you for posting 🙂
thankyou for recipe, it is good recipe
Love your recipes! I have made a few of them, and my family loves them. Would you be able to cut the dough into pieces ahead of time?
That should be fine but I recommend keeping the dough chilled until baking.
Whoa Nellie!! My hubby made these tonight while I made dinner. They are crazy good!!!! So glad I pinned this simple yet delicious recipe. Thanks!!!!
Will the regular Country Biscuits work, or should they really be the Buttermilk biscuits?
The Country Biscuits should work just fine!
Is pillsbury buttermilk biscuits the same thing?
Yes, they are the same. Pillsbury is simply a brand name but any brand of biscuits will work just fine in this recipe.
Miam miam.just made it,so good,like everything I did from your website .i didn’t know what to do whit my biscuits ,Tadaaaa,found it,thanks
