Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon (or you can use pumpkin pie spice)
1 cup butter (salted or unsalted)
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed )

Steps:

  • Prepare pan: Heavily grease Bundt or fluted tube pan with butter (12-cup capacity). Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare the dough: Separate biscuits and cut each one into four equal bite-sized pieces. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl or plastic bag. Drop roll each piece of dough in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and shake around to coat. Gently arrange the cinnamon-sugar biscuit pieces into the prepared pan.
  • Heat syrup: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Add 1/2 cup of the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture (discard remaining or use for another recipe). Gently heat to melt butter and bring mixture just to a boil and then immediately remove from heat. Stir until sugars have fully dissolved. Do not overcook the syrup; you simply want to help the sugar dissolve. Carefully drizzle the warm mixture over the rolled dough balls in the pan.
  • Bake: Arrange pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Time may vary; see note below.
  • Invert: Allow pan to rest for about 5 minutes, then cover with a large plate and invert. To eat, pull the desired amount off with your fingers (like a monkey would) and enjoy the gooey sweet sinful treat.

Tips:

  • Use a large Bundt pan or muffin tins to make the monkey bread. This will ensure that the bread cooks evenly and has a nice shape.
  • If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can also use a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Use a store-bought biscuit dough to make the monkey bread. This will save you time and effort.
  • If you are using a homemade biscuit dough, be sure to roll it out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch before cutting it into pieces.
  • Coat the biscuit pieces in a mixture of melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon before placing them in the Bundt pan or muffin tins.
  • Bake the monkey bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
