Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cans (16-ounce) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Generously coat a bundt pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Open the biscuit dough cans and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
Roll each piece of biscuit dough in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well-coated and place them evenly in the prepared bundt pan, adding nuts in between layers if using.
Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
Evenly pour the butter-brown sugar mixture over the dough pieces in the bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the monkey bread from the oven and let it cool in the bundt pan for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving platter. Serve warm and pull apart pieces to enjoy.
