Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly.
2. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
3. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon, then coat all dough pieces evenly.
4. Layer the coated dough pieces loosely into the prepared pan.
5. Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in brown sugar until smooth and bubbling.
6. Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the dough.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a plate.
9. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
10. Drizzle glaze over warm monkey bread and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure the pan is well-greased to prevent sticking and ensure a clean release.
Do not overpack the dough pieces, as they need space to expand while baking.
Serve warm for the best gooey texture and flavor experience.
