Description
Cinnamon Pull-Apart Monkey Bread is a delightful treat made with biscuit dough, coated in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (16.5 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters.
- Roll each quarter in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Layer half of the coated biscuit pieces in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. If using, sprinkle half of the chopped nuts over the biscuit layer.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour half of this mixture over the first layer of biscuits.
- Add the remaining biscuit pieces on top, followed by the rest of the nuts (if using) and the remaining butter mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Allow the monkey bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the delicious pieces!
Notes
- For a fun twist, add chocolate chips or dried fruit to the biscuit layers for extra flavor.
- Serve with a drizzle of icing made from powdered sugar and milk for a sweet finishing touch.
