Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Coating

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (soft, buttery biscuits)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (or plant-based butter for dairy-free alternative)

Additional Coating

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Mini chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional nut-free alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. If using nuts, have them ready to mix with the sugar.
  2. Cut and Coat Dough Pieces: Cut each biscuit into halves or quarters depending on size. Dip each piece into melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Toss nuts lightly with the coated dough pieces if desired.
  3. Layer in the Pan: Spray a bundt pan or similarly deep round baking dish with cooking spray. Layer the coated dough pieces evenly in the pan, pressing them down slightly to keep them together but leaving some space for rising.
  4. Add Brown Sugar and Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter with brown sugar and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves and forms a syrup. Drizzle this syrup evenly over the layered dough pieces in the pan.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbling: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let the bread cool for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate to allow the syrup to set but remain soft.

Notes

  • Use fresh biscuit dough for fluffier monkey bread.
  • Ensure each dough piece is fully coated in butter and cinnamon sugar for best flavor.
  • Grease the pan well using cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  • Distribute dough pieces evenly in the pan for consistent baking and texture.
  • Allow the bread to rest after baking before removing from the pan to keep syrup from running off.
