Greesing Pan:

Tools:

Directions:

1. Prep your Pan:

Let’s start preparing the Easy Monkey Bread recipe!

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 10-12 cup Bundt pan very well.

Tip: You can also use a 9×13-inch baking dish if you don’t have a Bundt pan.

2. Make the cinnamon sugar:

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.

3. Cut the biscuits:

  •  Open the biscuit cans and separate each biscuit.
  • Cut each biscuit into quarters.

4. Coat the biscuits:

  • Roll each piece of biscuit dough in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  • Place them in the prepared Bundt pan, distributing them evenly.

5. Make the caramel sauce:

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

6. Pour and bake:

Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the biscuit pieces in the Bundt pan.

7. Bake:

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • If using a baking dish, you may need to bake for slightly less time, about 25-30 minutes.

8. Cool and invert:

  • Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Then, carefully place a serving plate over the top of the pan and invert it to release the monkey bread.

Note: If using a baking dish, you can serve it directly from the dish.

9. Serve and enjoy easy monkey bread recipe:

Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, pull-apart goodness!

Tips & Tricks:

  • Variations: Add chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts are great), raisins, or chocolate chips to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra flavor and texture.
  • Icing: If you want extra sweetness, you can make a simple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar with a little milk or cream and drizzling it over the cooled monkey bread.
  • Make it ahead: You can assemble the monkey bread the night before, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it. Then, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
