Monkey Bread with Biscuits
This monkey bread with biscuits is soft, gooey, and coated in buttery cinnamon sugar. Using refrigerated biscuit dough makes this classic pull-apart breakfast so easy!
Ingredients
- 2 packages Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough (16 ounces each)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9 inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut biscuit dough: Cut each piece of biscuit dough into 6 pieces. I didn't end up using 2 biscuits (makes the pan a little full).
- Shake dough: Pour and mix 3/4 cup sugar and 1 Tablespoon cinnamon into a large zip-top bag. Add biscuit dough, seal the bag, and shake well.
- Put biscuit dough in pan: Place the sugary biscuit pieces evenly in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle any extra cinnamon sugar over top.
- Make topping: In a small saucepan, mix 1/3 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted, then low boil for 1 additional minute. Pour over biscuit dough.
- Bake: Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and center is cooked.
- Cool: Cool for 10 minutes, the flip onto a large plate or serving platter.
Notes
Optional glaze: Mix together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons milk. Drizzle over top once flipped out.
Store: This can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 day, but after that, keep any leftover monkey bread store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave.
Make ahead: You can prep up to step 5 and then cover and refrigerate overnight. Let come to room temperature in the morning while the oven preheats then bake accordingly.
