Campfire Cappuccino Monkey Bread is yummy breakfast bread coated in cinnamon, sugar & Salted Caramel Cappuccino mix, baked in tin foil over a campfire.
My friends, do you go camping? If you do then you know that there is something so delightful about enjoying scrumptious food when out in the wild.
I wish I knew what it was about eating something hot & delicious when camping, but there’s just something about it. Am I right?

Because that’s one of the things I look forward to the most when camping, I like to recreate some of our most favorite recipes, campfire-style. Our favorite campfire dish for breakfast is this Campfire Cappuccino Monkey Bread.
I have partnered with Hills Bros. Cappuccino to create this recipe. All opinions are my own.
Campfire Monkey Bread
Now, most people know what monkey bread is. I have been making it for a good 15 years or so & I’m sure you have too. I usually make it from scratch & it’s time-consuming but totally worth it in the end.
But when you are camping, it’s all about convenience. So I created a way to make that favorite breakfast recipe with just 5 minutes of prep time & about 20 minutes over the campfire. I decided to jazz it up a bit & include a little bit of my favorite cappuccino mix in salted caramel flavor to the recipe.
You see, a while back the team & I took an 11-day road trip in an RV down the coast of Washington, Oregon & California as part of a business trip for a workshop I was taking. Spending 11 days in an RV as a family of 5 (all of which are adult size) was an adventure.

But one of the things that made life easier was having my Hills Bros. Cappuccino Mix on hand. We took the Keurig along with us & I was also able to brew my Hills Bros. Cappuccino in that when I had time. But it was really handy while we were always on the go to have my mix available too.
I could have a delicious cappuccino at a moment’s notice, which I really needed. While I was making my beverage, I made some Campfire Cappuccino Monkey Bread too. Then we just placed them on the grate over the campfire while we warmed up in the morning.
It was so nice to enjoy these with a yummy cup of cappuccino while listening to the waves crash on those chilly mornings. I’m telling you, I could start every single day of my life that way.
I love those early mornings by the shore & a campfire. Having a sweet breakfast like the monkey bread was just the icing on the cake.
Easy Monkey Bread
It’s as easy as toss together in a zip top bag, wrap in foil & let them cook.
You just have to try this on your next campout. They are SO GOOD & SO EASY!
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I bake these in the oven instead of cooking on the campfire?
Yes, you can make these in the oven. Just bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes.
Can I omit the cappuccino mix?
You can, but I highly recommend using it. It really gives this monkey bread the most delicious flavor.
How many can this serve?
This recipe makes 4 foil packets, so 4 people. You can always split them between 2 people if you have smaller appetites.

Can this recipe be doubled?
You can double this recipe and it works fine. You can cook them in batches depending on the size of your campfire.
HOW DO YOU MAKE Campfire Cappuccino Monkey Bread?
- Lay out 4-5 sheets of tin foil (approx 12-15″ long) & spray with cooking spray.
- Cut each uncooked refrigerator biscuit into quarters & place in a gallon-size zip-top bag.
- Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cappuccino mix in the bag with the dough. Zip the bag & toss to coat.
- Sift out the coated pieces of dough & place on prepared foil. (the portions will seem small – but the dough with puff & rise)
- Sprinkle a little of the remaining coating mixture over the top & add a few cubes of butter to each foil pack.
- Fold the ends of the foil together on one end & then fold in the other ends to seal tight.
- Cook on a grate over hot coals for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is cooked through – turning every 5 minutes or so.
- While you wait – prepare the glaze by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooked monkey bread when serving.

What is the best way to store leftover monkey bread?
So, since we do our camping in an RV, I usually just place the leftovers in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. But if you are camping and only have an ice chest to keep your food cool, I recommend doing your best to not have leftovers – OR you can place the airtight container in the ice chest. But try to enjoy the rest later that same day.
To make Campfire Cappuccino Monkey Bread you will need…
- refrigerator biscuits
- granulated sugar
- brown sugar
- cinnamon
- Salted Caramel Cappuccino Mix
