Sausage Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread is a sweet and savory tasty treat with just two ingredients perfect for breakfast, snack, or game day.
Monkey Bread, or Pull Apart Bread, is just one of those fun foods to eat! I added cocktail sausages and cinnamon rolls to make this monkey bread. Sweet and savory is great for breakfast and the smell (heavenly) will get the kiddos out of bed!
SAUSAGE CINNAMON ROLL MONKEY BREAD
You only need two ingredients and less than thirty minutes to make this Sausage Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread.
- Pillsbury canned flaky cinnamon rolls like this or any brand that actually are rolled and not a biscuit. The reason is you’re going to unroll each one and cut it into four equal pieces. This was they fit perfectly around the sausage. You’ll also use the frosting that comes with it.
- Cocktail sausages. I like the Bryan Cocktail Smokies. However, you can use any brand.
METHOD
I used a 5×9-inch loaf pan. I lined the pan with parchment paper for easy removal. However, you can spray your pan with a non-stick vegetable spray instead if you prefer. Next, you’ll place the wrapped sausage in the pan on the end as pictured and bake them. They take about 30 minutes to bake at 375 degrees F in a loaf pan.
As well, you can cook them in a muffin tin. Or, if you want to double the recipe, you can cook them in a bundt pan.
I used the frosting that came in the cinnamon roll can and drizzled it over the monkey bread. However, if you prefer it more on the savory side, save these icing containers in the fridge for another use.
They are savory and delicious right out of the pan or stored in an airtight container for a easy grab-and-go breakfast any day of the week.

I am confused. In one place you state to unroll each roll and cut into 4 pieces to wrap the sausages in. In the recipe directions you say to cut each roll in half and roll it out with a rolling pin.

This is such an intriguing combination I might have to try it. I love cinnamon rolls (those ones in particular) and Lil’ Smokies so not sure why I wouldn’t love the two together. Thanks for sharing on the weekend re-Treat link party.
Paula says
That was my thinking too! It was good.
