Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Bundt pan
- 1-gallon zip lock bag
- Glass bowl
- Oven
Ingredients
- 4 cans of Pillsbury Biscuits
- 1/2 cup of melted butter
- 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Step-by-step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a one-gallon zip lock bag, mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar together.
- In a glass bowl, melt the butter and then mix it with the brown sugar.
- Cut each of the pre-sliced biscuits into fourths and drop them into the gallon-sized bag. Shake well to coat the biscuits with the sugar mixture.
- Place the coated biscuit pieces into a bundt pan.
- Drizzle the butter and brown sugar mixture over the top of the biscuits in the bundt pan. It will seep through the layers as it bakes.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Let the Monkey Bread rest for 5 minutes before flipping it upside down onto a serving platter. Serve with a glass of milk and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Ensure your bundt pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- Letting the Monkey Bread rest for a few minutes helps the sticky syrup settle, making it easier to flip.
Additional Tips and Variations
For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or raisins to the biscuit mixture before baking. You can also drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the top for extra sweetness.
