Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce can Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray a large microwave-safe bowl or bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Toss the biscuit pieces into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Place the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared microwave-safe bowl, arranging them evenly.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds in the microwave). Once melted, stir in the brown sugar until combined.
Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the bowl.
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, checking at the 4-minute mark. The monkey bread should look puffed up and the sugar mixture should be bubbling.
Allow the monkey bread to cool for 3-5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a plate if desired, or serve directly from the bowl.
Pull apart pieces of the monkey bread and enjoy while warm!
