Description

A warm, gooey treat made with buttery, cinnamon-kissed dough balls, perfect for sharing at gatherings or family nights.


Ingredients

  • 2 cans (16 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/8 cup ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp milk (for glaze)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a deep-dish loaf pan or a standard Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Open the cans of biscuits and break each one into smaller pieces. Roll these pieces into balls about the size of 3 tablespoons each.
  3. Whisk together the white granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl until combined.
  4. Roll each dough ball into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.
  5. Place a layer of the coated dough balls into the bottom of your prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar over this first layer.
  6. Add the remaining dough balls as a second layer, sprinkling the rest of the brown sugar on top.
  7. Melt the butter and pour it evenly over the dough balls.
  8. Sprinkle any leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top for extra crunch.
  9. Bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown and the center is not doughy.
  10. Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk for the glaze while the bread cools slightly.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the warm monkey bread and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. Try with a caramel or chocolate sauce for dipping.
