Description
Monkey Bread is a sweet, sticky, pull-apart pastry made from soft dough pieces coated in cinnamon sugar and baked with a buttery brown sugar glaze. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and set aside.
- In a large plastic bag, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Add biscuit pieces and shake to coat evenly.
- Layer the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared Bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Optional: add chopped nuts or raisins between the biscuit layers for extra texture.
- Use homemade dough if preferred instead of canned biscuits.
- Best served warm but can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds.
