This Gingerbread Monkey Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze is perfect for Christmas morning breakfast… or any day!
Wow! You guys really like your monkey bread! My pumpkin spice monkey bread with cream cheese glaze ranks among my top 5 blog posts ever and usually sits at #1 or #2 for August – November. Come mid to end of November it drops out of the top 10… maybe everyone is sick of pumpkin spice by then? Or they’ve moved on to more Christmas inspired flavors?
That’s understandable (my feelings aren’t hurt, I promise 😉 ). Sooo going off of those 2 assumptions I created this Gingerbread Monkey Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze recipe.
My Gingerbread Monkey Bread shares some of the characteristics of its traditional monkey bread cousin and pumpkin spice sister, but is infused with layers of gingerbread flavor. Gingerbread is such a quintessential holiday spice and just the smell makes me feel like it’s Christmas morning.
Gingerbread Monkey Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze will be a hit on Christmas morning, pinky promise! Get the printable recipe card below.

Your pumpkin spice version was amazing so I *need* to try this one, too! My mom would always splurge on Cinnabon for Christmas morning when I was a kid. My hubs doesn’t love stuff like that, but I still make some kind of sweet, special breakfast to enjoy myself 😛
