Maple Bacon Pull-Apart Bread
3x the delicious servings!
- Wheat
- Tree Nuts
- Milk
Sticky. Maple. Bacon. Biscuits. Aren’t those the four food groups? Well, they should be! This super-easy crowd-pleasing breakfast treat starts with pre-made biscuit dough that you’ll coat in a delicious mix of butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, pecans, and chopped bacon, and transfer to the world’s luckiest baking dish. Bake the bites to a perfect golden brown, then flip the dish upside down, so all that sticky-sweet-smoky love is on top. Serve it up finger-licking family style (and definitely don’t forget those napkins!). This recipe is triple the typical servings, providing 6 servings and 12 servings for a 2 person and 4 person box respectively.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
• While bacon cooks, generously coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish (9-by-13-inch baking dish for 12 servings) with nonstick cooking spray. Remove biscuit dough from package; quarter each biscuit. Roughly chop pecans if necessary.
• Cut ½ cup butter (1 cup for 12 servings) into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until melted, 60-90 seconds.
• Carefully uncover bowl with butter and whisk in brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and 1⁄3 cup white sugar (2⁄3 cup for 12 servings) until combined. (TIP: Break up any large clumps of brown sugar in the package with your fingers first!) Whisk in sour cream.
• Add dough pieces, pecans, and chopped bacon to bowl with butter mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to prepared baking dish and spread out in an even layer.
• Bake on middle rack until golden brown and fully cooked in center, 25-30 minutes.
• Let cool 5 minutes, then turn upside down onto a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining sauce from baking dish over top. Serve.
Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the sweet and savory combo, though some found it too sweet; adjusting sugar to taste can help balance flavors.
- Ease of prep: Generally easy to make, but a few found it time-consuming or had trouble with cooking times and flipping.
- Suggestions: Consider cutting biscuits smaller, using less butter, and adding more maple syrup for moisture and flavor 🍯.
- Leftovers: Best enjoyed fresh and hot; leftovers tend to dry out and harden quickly.
- Bacon: Some loved the bacon addition, while others preferred it on the side or omitted; ensure even cooking for best results.
- Serving: Great for sharing at brunches or family gatherings; pairs well with coffee, scrambled eggs, or even ice cream 🍦.
Reviews from our home cooks
It has BACON?! I got the bacon nice and crisp and used some of the bacon fat to fry an egg. The biscuits were drenched in lucious maple, brown sugar and chopped pecans. So easy. It brought back memories of when my grandma would make monkey bread in a bundt pan. She used Butterscotch pudding mix and Rhodes Bread dough.
Turned out good...easy to make, but the saltiness of the bacon was lost in the sweet maple butter sauce.
Delicious and easy to make. We prepared it the night before to put in oven for breakfast the next morning.
I think I would have put the nuts and bacon on the bottom instead of the top because when you flip it out (as instructed) all the toppings are on the bottom. Quibble though because wow is this tasty.
Bacon was a nice addition. I wish I had cut up the biscuits smaller and used less butter. Yummy. I would eat it again
I had friends in town for the holiday weekend! Great Breakfast for 4, Great Quantity! Great Taste! Bacon!
This is our second time having this, and this time we ate the bacon on the side. This was 1,000% better in my opinion. Last time the bacon got gummy and soggy. We also stepped up the Brunch game by putting a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. We will absolutely order this again; but we will continue to each the bacon on the side.
Very tasty. I think it needs a bit more maple flavor and I'd double chopped nuts
This was so easy to put together and so delicious! What a nice breakfast treat!
Love this take on monkey bread! It did not last long in my house.
