Gingerbread Pillsbury Monkey Bread Recipe
We always like to do a special breakfast for the holidays. It used to just be cinnamon buns then one year I decided to make Pillsbury Monkey Bread. It was amazing and the kids love it, so we have made it again. And then we made Gingerbread Monkey Bread.
I love bringing in the taste of gingerbread into the monkey bread because it just reminds me of Christmas.
How to Store Pillsbury Monkey Bread

If you keep it covered, it will taste great for a few days. If it is not covered, it will get hard. You can store the gingerbread monkey bread at room temperature.
Do I Need to Reheat Christmas Monkey Bread
As the Christmas Monkey Bread cools all the way off, the sugar and the butter will solidify some. You do not have to reheat the Christmas monkey bread, but personally I like to heat it in the microwave to warm it a little bit.

That makes it nice and easy on Christmas morning to put the pan in the oven and Christmas Breakfast is ready.
