Ingredients

  • 2 cans (16 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted

Let’s Cook!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.

Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Toss the biscuit pieces in the sugar mixture until fully coated. 

Layer the Dough: Place the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared bundt pan. If you’re using nuts, sprinkle them in between layers. 

Make the Gooey Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with vanilla extract. Pour this over the biscuit pieces in the pan. 

Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until it is golden brown and cooked through. 

Cool & Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool for 5 minutes before inverting the pan onto a plate. Serve warm, pulling apart the gooey pieces.

“The ultimate indulgence – sweet, gooey, and perfectly baked!”

Tips & Variations

  • Add a Drizzle: For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the baked monkey bread.
  • Fruit Twist: Add in some fresh or frozen berries to the layers for a fruity flavor.
  • Make it Nut-Free: If you prefer, you can skip the nuts and just enjoy the deliciously gooey bread.
