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.

Yesterday, my cousin suggested I follow you. So, I decided to try one of your recipes for dinner, before I got my hopes up. I’ve seen many sites like this and sometimes they don’t pan out. Mostly, I cook from The Pioneer Woman website, or my own stuff. Well, let me tell you how much my family LOVED your Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo along with these gems!!! Thanks bunches and I look forward to trying another dish.
OMG! I had some leftover meatballs in sauce from dinner yesterday but no spaghetti. Didn’t feel like dragging out a heavy pot and cooking pasta (got a broken ankle). So I threw these in a bowl and in the oven. I am now completely stuffed! I hate my meatballs and four….yes FOUR of these. Can’t wait till my husband gets home from work to try them. Will definitely make again. So easy!
Oops…ATE not hate…I loved these!
I would love to make these for a xmas eve gathering. Can they be made ahead, then reheated?
Yes, these reheat beautifully in the microwave or in the oven.
Hi there! Just wondering is anyone has ever used a different type of pan? Loaf or bundt?
A bundt or loaf pan should work just fine, but you may have to adjust cooking time as needed.
I made these last night to go along with our spaghetti and I couldn’t get over how quick and easy they were to make and how DELICIOUS they were! I have to admit I don’t love making breads and rolls because I’m just not a patient person. But these babies are so easy, I can whip them up super quick! Thanks for sharing. These are a new family fav!
I’ve already ‘pinned’ these – they look soooo good !
Would olive oil work in place of butter?
It is really best to use butter to obtain the best results possible.
These looked amazing so I made them twice. But unfortunately both times when the timer went off they were not fully cooked. After adding 4-6 more minutes to get them cooked, the bottoms were burnt. Any suggestions?
Alyssa, your oven may be set too high. Try using an oven thermometer to ensure that the correct temperature is set.
Thanks, I’ll look into that!
I am so regretting the moment I found this recipe. So easy and beyond delicious – I may or may not have eaten five by myself :T
I only recently discovered your site, and this is the second recipe I’ve tried – both have been amazing. Thank you! Can’t wait to explore the rest of your recipes.
Yet another kitchen hit! Classic ingredients for a classic taste!
Damn, these look delicious(although I’m sure you’ve never gotten that before;-))! Monkey bread is the absolute best, as is garlic bread, so this recipe should be fantastic. I’d like to add this to my Thanksgiving table! Thanks for sharing, Chungah!
What a great post! I love your writing, you are sooo funny! And as I’m reading this my mouth is watering. Can’t wait to make these. Only problem will be keeping myself from eating them all before they make it to the table!
I made your one pan enchilada bake recipe last week, and I had to buy a 4-pack of buttermilk biscuit tubes because my grocery store was out of single tubes. I thought, man, I’m going to have to make the enchilada bake four times… not that anybody would complain, it was AMAZING… but I like variety. Problem = solved! Can’t wait to try this recipe, I think I’ll be pairing it with the bang bang shrimp pasta recipe too! (Loved the bang bang chicken!)
I’m totally with you on cutting corners whenever possibly during Thanksgiving. I can see this bread being a big hit with my friends and family!
Bread is my favorite Thanksgiving dish and I think I just found the newest addition to my Thanksgiving meal!
OHMYYUM!
I absolutely love these, what a perfect bread to serve at Thanksgiving – the mini size is irresistible!
I never thought I’d call garlic bread adorable, but these are just too cute! Look super yummy too. Pinned!
These are too cute Chungah! I’m sure I’d be able to eat at least half in one sitting haha! I love the addition of parmesan on top 🙂
I understand you completely on cutting corners, but there is a time and place! These look so yummy, they could even be good for a busy weeknight! They are absolutely beautiful too!
