Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 3 quarters Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard bundt pan with cooking spray.
Open the cans of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Add the biscuit dough pieces to the bag in batches, sealing and shaking until each piece is well-coated.
If using nuts, sprinkle half of the chopped pecans or walnuts evenly in the bottom of the greased bundt pan.
Layer the coated biscuit dough pieces into the bundt pan, adding the remaining nuts (if used) intermittently.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat.
Pour the butter-brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough pieces in the bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the bundt pan onto a large serving plate and lift off the pan.
Serve warm. Pull apart with fingers or cut into slices.
