Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz cans)
- 0.5 cups Butter
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Pecans (chopped)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Peel the bananas and cut them into small bite-sized slices.
Open the cans of biscuit dough and separate them into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
Roll each biscuit quarter in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
In the Bundt pan, layer the coated biscuit pieces, banana slices, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans. Repeat in layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of biscuit pieces on top.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until combined and dissolved into a caramel-like sauce. Remove from heat.
Pour the butter-brown sugar mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the Bundt pan.
Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then invert carefully onto a serving plate.
Serve warm by pulling apart pieces, and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey, banana-pecan goodness of Chunky Monkey Bread!
