Ingredients
- 48.9 ounces refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (3) 16.3 cans cut into 4 quarters
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cut each of the biscuits into 4 pieces. I cut them in half and then cut each of those pieces.
- Add the sugar and cinnamon to a large plastic zip bag. You can also use 2 bags and half of the ingredients in each bag.
- Place the biscuits pieces in the bag, close it and shake it to coat the dough completely.
- Using tongs or your finger, place the coated dough in the prepared bundt pan and space them out evenly. Don't dump the excess sugar mixture from the bag.
- In a medium sauce pan, add the butter and heat over medium high heat until melted.
- Add in the brown sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the biscuits in the bundt pan and stir gently to coat the dough well.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes. (it is normal for the top biscuits to form a slight crust).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Place a plate or serving platter over the top of the bundt pan. Then flip the plate over so the monkey bread turns out onto the plate.

Notes
- I used Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Buttermilk (8 count) but use any refrigerated biscuits you love.
- Use salted or unsalted butter.
- Use almond extract instead of vanilla
