Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh bananas will give your monkey bread a sweet, natural flavor. All-purpose flour works well for this recipe, but you can also use bread flour or whole wheat flour if you prefer. If you don't have evaporated milk on hand, you can use whole milk or 2% milk instead.
  • Don't over-mix the batter: Over-mixing the batter will make the monkey bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a well-greased pan: To prevent the monkey bread from sticking, grease the pan thoroughly with cooking spray or butter.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When you place the balls of dough in the pan, make sure to leave some space between them so that they can rise and cook evenly.
  • Bake the monkey bread until it is golden brown: The monkey bread is done baking when it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
