Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions
-
Prepare the Sugar Mixture
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed, creating a sweet and aromatic cinnamon sugar blend that will infuse each piece of the monkey bread with flavor. 🍬🍂 -
Cut and Coat the Biscuits
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. This will allow for easy, bite-sized pieces that can be effortlessly pulled apart after baking. Roll each quarter in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides. This step is crucial for achieving that irresistible, sweet crust. 🥯🌟 -
Assemble in the Pan
Drop the coated biscuit pieces into a non-stick bundt pan, arranging them as evenly as possible. The pan should be greased or lightly coated to prevent sticking, ensuring a smooth release once the bread is baked. The goal is to have a layered effect, so don’t worry if the pieces seem packed together—they’ll separate beautifully as they bake. 🥄🍞 -
Prepare the Butter Mixture
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture to the butter, stirring well to combine. This creates a rich, sweet syrup that will pour over the biscuit pieces, soaking into the bread and caramelizing as it bakes. 🍯🔥 -
Pour and Bake
Pour the butter and cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan. Make sure all pieces are well coated for maximum flavor. Place the bundt pan in a preheated oven set to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 minutes. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the bread as it turns a golden brown and fills your kitchen with a tantalizing aroma. ⏲️🍰 -
Cool and Serve
Once baked, allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This cooling period helps the caramel to set slightly, making it easier to turn out onto a plate. After cooling, carefully turn the bundt pan upside down onto a serving plate, letting the monkey bread gently release. The result should be a glorious mound of sweet, sticky goodness, ready to be enjoyed by everyone. 🍽️😋
