Equipment

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 4 cans premade biscuit dough such as Pillsbury brand

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt or tube pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cinnamon and granulated sugar until fully blended.
  • Open each can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters.
  • Roll each biscuit piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated. Arrange the coated pieces in the prepared pan.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Microwave for about 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar into the butter.
  • Pour the buttery brown sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces in the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  • Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chopped pecans or walnuts in with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
