Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bread - An Easy Sweet Pastry Recipe

Semi-homemade with refrigerator biscuits this cinnamon toast crunch bread is a great breakfast treat or sweet snack to serve guests and family.

I wanted to make something sweet and special for breakfast during the holidays. Typically I don't eat breakfast. However, a holiday quiche or something like a berry buckle is often a nice option during the Christmas holidays. This year I decided to go with a cinnamon toast crunch idea using packaged biscuits and my favorite crumble topping.

Making Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bread

If you've heard of monkey bread then this technique should be familiar to you. You start by taking prepared refrigerator biscuits and dip them in melted butter followed by a cinnamon-sugar mix.

The biscuits are layered in a loaf pan or sometimes people use a bundt pan. I used buttermilk biscuits however you could make your own biscuit dough or use a different type of refrigerated biscuit dough. I really don't think that it will matter too much.

The "crunch" comes in with a topping made of oats, more cinnamon, brown sugar, and flour. This is added to the top of the biscuits for added flavor and texture.

The resulting bread is over-flowing with lots of cinnamon and sugar and the crunchy crumble topping made it pop.

Here it is sliced up for everyone to enjoy with a nice cup of coffee and tea. A perfect holiday pastry or treat for any guest or family member.

You could also cook it longer and if the top starts to brown too much you can cover it with foil.
