A quick and easy monkey bread made from canned biscuits coated in a cinnamon sugar butter mixture, perfect for lazy weekend breakfasts or last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16-ounce) can canned biscuits (about 8 biscuits), preferably buttermilk style
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), mini chocolate chips, or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan generously with nonstick spray or softened butter to avoid sticking.
  2. Open the canned biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until you have a sticky, aromatic mixture.
  4. Toss the biscuit quarters gently in the cinnamon sugar butter mixture until every piece is well coated.
  5. Layer the coated biscuits in the bundt pan. If using optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, sprinkle a few between layers.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the bread, then invert onto a plate. Gently pull apart any stuck pieces with a spatula.
  8. Serve warm.

Notes

If biscuits brown too fast, tent the bundt pan with foil halfway through baking. Use a metal pan for a crisper crust. Grease pan generously to prevent sticking. Monkey bread is best served warm. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated. For vegan version, use dairy-free butter and vegan biscuit dough. Optional add-ins and variations include nuts, chocolate chips, raisins, fresh fruit, or savory twists.
