Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or a deep baking dish to prevent sticking. Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Coat the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss the dough pieces in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 3: Assemble in the Pan
Layer the coated dough pieces into the greased bundt pan. If using chopped nuts, sprinkle some between the layers for added texture and flavor.
Step 4: Prepare the Caramel Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until fully dissolved and slightly thickened. If desired, add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Step 5: Pour & Bake
Evenly pour the caramel sauce over the dough pieces in the bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Allow the Monkey Bread to cool for about 5 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy the sticky, pull-apart goodness!
Notes
- Chocolate Lover’s Twist: Add chocolate chips between the dough layers.
- Apple Cinnamon Monkey Bread: Mix in diced apples for a fruity touch.
- Pumpkin Spice Version: Substitute cinnamon with pumpkin spice for a fall-inspired treat.
