Ingredients

  • 3 tubes refrigerated biscuits 10 in each tube
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter salted or unsalted
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Prep the Biscuits: Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large ziploc bag, add the granulated sugar, cinnamon and mix well. Add the biscuit pieces to the bag. I added them all together but if you're afraid they are going to stick add a few at a time. Close the ziploc bag and shake until each piece is fully coated in the cinnamon sugar. Add the biscuit pieces to a 12 cup bundt pan.
  3. Make Glaze: In a saucepan melt the butter and add the brown sugar to it. Once the butter is melted and the sugar fully dissolved, pour it over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan.
  4. Bake: Transfer the bundt pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is dark brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the monkey bread cool in the bundt pan for 5 minutes before flipping it onto a serving dish. Let it cool for another 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can add all of the biscuit pieces together in one bag, but if you're afraid they are going to stick, add a few at a time. I added them all and it turned out just fine!
  • Make sure to shake the bag until each biscuit piece is fully coated in the cinnamon sugar.
  • Don't worry about buttering the bundt pan, there is plenty of butter in the recipe so it's not needed!
  • Place the bundt pan on a baking sheet before placing it in the oven, just in case there's any caramel spilling over the edges. 
  • If you want to make your bread even MORE of a sinful treat, Some drizzled chocolate sauce would go beautifully over top, Nutella, maybe a sprinkle of powdered sugar, some shaved chocolate, vanilla icing, and a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Don't store the monkey bread in the fridge, it does far better and stays more moist right on the counter! It will keep covered for 3 - 4 days.
  • You can store your monkey bread in an airtight container for up to 3 months in the freezer!
