Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: Baking
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9-inch bundt pan or tube pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the sugar.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough cans and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife.
- Roll each biscuit quarter in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is completely coated. Place the coated dough pieces into the prepared bundt pan, creating random layers.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the melted butter with brown sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the layered biscuit pieces in the bundt pan, ensuring it covers most of the dough.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate, allowing the monkey bread to release from the pan. If some pieces stick, gently separate them with a spatula.
- Serve warm and pull apart the sticky, sweet pieces for a delightful treat. Best enjoyed immediately while still warm.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture and melt the butter in advance. This way, you can quickly assemble your monkey bread when you're ready to bake.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh refrigerated biscuit dough. It makes a noticeable difference in taste and texture.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to get creative! Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to the biscuit layers for an extra flavor boost.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your monkey bread while it bakes. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Serve Warm: This treat is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve it warm to fully experience the sticky, sweet goodness that makes monkey bread so irresistible.
- Storage: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that warm, gooey texture.
