Description

Indulge in the sweet, gooey goodness of Classic Monkey Bread, a beloved pull-apart treat perfect for breakfast or dessert. This easy recipe features tender biscuit pieces coated in cinnamon sugar, baked to golden perfection, and drizzled with a buttery brown sugar glaze.


Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 3 cans (7.5 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Brown Sugar Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional:

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Cut and Coat: Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large zip-top bag, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Add the biscuit pieces in batches and shake to coat evenly. Place the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared bundt pan.
  3. Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar until fully combined and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces.
  4. Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
