Monkey Bread

Monkey bread is hands down my favorite thing to bake (and eat)! Ever since I was little my family has made this recipe for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. It’s easy to throw together (thanks to the store-bought biscuits) and only requires a handful of ingredients to make!

Equipment

  • 12 cup bundt pan

Ingredients

  • 2 (16 oz) cans store-bought biscuits I like Pillsbury Grands
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup melted butter 2 sticks

Instructions

  • Start by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl, then set that aside for later.
  • Take store-bought biscuits and cut each one into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then cover them liberally in the cinnamon sugar from earlier.
  • Pour ¼ cup of the melted butter in the bottom of your bundt pan. Move it around to grease the sides, then add in ¼ of the dough balls and ¼ of the remaining cinnamon sugar. Repeat this process of layering the butter, biscuits, and cinnamon sugar until there is nothing remaining.
  • Bake the monkey bread at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, (it’ll still be warm but not hot) then invert onto a plate for serving.
