# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
3 packages (16.3 oz each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
02 -
1 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
04 -
1 cup unsalted butter
05 -
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F. Take each biscuit from the packages and cut them into four equal pieces. Toss all the dough pieces into a large zip-top bag along with the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Seal it up tight and give it a good shake until every piece is beautifully coated with the sweet cinnamon mixture.
02 -
Grab your 10-inch bundt pan and give it a light coating of grease. Carefully arrange all those cinnamon-sugar coated dough pieces into the pan, distributing them evenly.
03 -
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat. Stir it occasionally and let it bubble up until the butter is completely melted and the mixture starts to boil. Pour this gorgeous, hot caramel mixture right over the dough pieces in your pan.
04 -
Slide the pan into your preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top turns a beautiful deep golden brown. Once done, place the pan on a wire rack and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
05 -
After cooling, place a large serving plate on top of the bundt pan and carefully flip the whole thing over to release your monkey bread onto the plate. Remove the pan and let it cool just a few more minutes before serving while it's still wonderfully warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For easy cleanup, place the bundt pan on a parchment-lined baking sheet before baking to catch any drips from the caramel sauce.
02 -
Make extra cinnamon sugar mixture - it's perfect for sprinkling on overnight oats or adding to your morning coffee for a seasonal touch.
03 -
This recipe is perfect for meal prep! Assemble everything through step 3, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Just let it come to room temperature while your oven preheats the next morning.
04 -
For extra rich flavor, try browning the butter first until it smells nutty and toasty before adding the brown sugar.
05 -
Get creative with mix-ins like fresh berries, chocolate chips, toasted nuts, or add spices like cardamom, allspice, or pumpkin pie spice to the cinnamon sugar.
