Description

This monkey bread is a soft, gooey, cinnamon-sugar pull-apart treat with a sticky caramel glaze, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert with friends and family.


Ingredients

  • 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
  3. In a large zip-top bag, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Add biscuit pieces and shake until well coated.
  4. Place the coated biscuit pieces evenly into the prepared bundt pan.
  5. In a bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar until smooth, then pour over the biscuit pieces.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
  8. Serve warm and pull apart to enjoy.

Notes
