Monkey Bread
Monkey Bread is a family favorite dessert made with soft, gooey biscuit pieces coated in cinnamon sugar and baked in a rich brown sugar glaze that caramelizes around the edges. This fun pull-apart treat is perfect on its own or drizzled with icing for a little extra sweetness.

Calories 399kcal
Ingredients
- 2 16-ounce cans buttermilk biscuits refrigerated
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 14 tablespoons butter melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Icing
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit and generously grease a bundt pan.
- Cut the biscuits into quarters.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss each biscuit piece in the cinnamon sugar to coat then place them in the bundt pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Make sure the butter is hot enough that it dissolves the sugar. Pour the butter mixture over the top of the biscuits.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then flip over onto a serving dish.
Optional icing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Start with 1 tablespoon milk and add more until you reach the desired consistency. Drizzle the icing over the monkey bread and enjoy.
Notes
I recommend placing a baking sheet under the bundt pan to catch any liquid that may bubble over while baking.
