Blueberry and Peach Easy Monkey Bread is a deliciously easy recipe you can easily make with the kids!

Blueberry Monkey Bread with peaches is the recipe kids will ask for again and again!
I love being able to go to a local farm and pick fresh fruit in the summertime. Of course, here in New England, summer comes later than in many other parts of the country. Our blueberries won't be ready until July, and peaches are even further off than that.
But it's easy enough to get fresh fruit at the grocery store right now and that's good enough for me. My Blueberry Monkey Bread will tie us over until we can pick our own fresh fruits.
Doesn't this just look amazing?? I love how the blueberries split and the juices run throughout the dough.
What is Monkey Bread?
It's called bread, but it's more like a giant cinnamon roll in a way. Monkey bread is made by taking small balls of yeast dough and making a sauce - usually sweet. The most common one you see is exactly like a cinnamon roll because it's made with brown sugar and cinnamon. There are hundreds of thousands of variations of monkey bread, including savory versions.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bundt pan.
- Toss together the diced peaches and blueberries with lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and sugars. Set aside.
- Cut the thawed dough into quarters. Toss them with the melted butter and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Add ⅓ of the rolls to the bundt pan, then cover with ½ of the fruit mixture.
- Add the second layer of rolls and top with the remaining fruit. Finish with the last layer of rolls.
- Scrape any leftover butter-sugar mixture on top.
- Set in a warm place and allow the rolls to rise, about 30-45 minutes. You want the rolls to nearly double in size.
- Bake for 40 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve warm, or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
📖 Variations
- For an Autumn version, use substitute the blueberries and peaches for apples. Add 1 teaspoon apple pie spice mix. Omit the lemon juice and add 1 cup of chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for a tasty crunch.
- Use fresh or frozen blackberries in place of blueberries for a more unusual but still scrumptious fruit combo.
- Use all peaches and brown sugar instead for a monkey bread that tastes like caramelized peaches.

Baking with Kids
This is a super fun recipe to make with the kids. Cooking and baking in the kitchen is a great way to spend quality time with your children, and teach some math and science concepts at the same time. My daughter loves to wash the dishes afterward, and so what if I have to rewash most of it? She's happy, I'm happy, it's all good!
Ethan loves measuring and mixing, and they both love cutting things! Don't worry, I'm not talking about slicing the peaches. The dough for this monkey bread is just frozen bread dough you can get at the store. It's such a versatile ingredient! The kids each get a butter knife and cut the rolls into quarters. It's actually a time-consuming task I don't really enjoy, but they love it! Plus, a semi-homemade recipe without a ton of ingredients to measure is ideal. Let's face it, we all get a little side-tracked when the kids are in the kitchen!

I put together your receipe for this monkey bread but it didn’t, tell anywhere about using the brown sugar. Is it supposed to be used?
Ang Paris says
Hi Vicki! Thanks for catching that typo 🙂 Both the white and brown sugars are combined with the fruit. I have updated the recipe card.
