A quick and easy monkey bread made with store-bought biscuit dough, coated in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with a buttery brown sugar glaze. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, this gooey pull-apart bread is a crowd-pleaser with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz / 454 g) refrigerated biscuit dough (Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits recommended)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan generously with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cut the biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch chunks, keeping pieces uniform for even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  4. Add the biscuit dough pieces to the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss gently until each piece is well coated.
  5. Place the coated dough balls evenly in the prepared bundt pan, allowing some touching for pull-apart effect.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  7. Drizzle the butter and brown sugar sauce evenly over the biscuit dough in the pan.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbling with sticky sauce. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
  9. Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Serve warm.

Notes

Use chilled biscuit dough for better shape retention. Cover loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if brown sugar hardens to keep moist. Let cool slightly before serving to allow caramel to thicken. Variations include adding pumpkin pie spice, fruit, or chocolate chips. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free biscuit dough. For gluten-free, use gluten-free biscuit dough.
