Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Brown sugar
- 2 Ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Crushed walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a bundt pan generously with cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Roll each quarter piece into a ball.
Toss the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Layer the coated dough balls evenly in the prepared bundt pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl and stir them into the caramel mixture along with the vanilla extract. If desired, mix in the crushed walnuts or pecans for added texture.
Pour the banana-caramel mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar-coated dough balls in the bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and bubbling. A skewer inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy the funky, gooey, and caramel-rich treat!
