Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heaping cinnamon

Butter

  • 1 cup butter

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans southern style buttermilk biscuits (16 biscuits total)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly spray a bundt pan with cooking spray to ensure the monkey bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: Pour the sugar and cinnamon into a large plastic storage bag, mixing them evenly to combine.
  3. Prepare Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the package and cut each biscuit into quarters.
  4. Coat Biscuits: Place 6-7 biscuit pieces at a time into the bag with the cinnamon sugar. Shake the bag until the biscuit pieces are well coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Layer in Pan: Place the coated biscuit pieces into the greased bundt pan, arranging them evenly.
  6. Melt Butter and Mix Sugar: In a large microwave-safe measuring cup, melt the butter until warm and fully liquid. Pour the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture into the melted butter and stir for about 30 seconds until the sugar begins to dissolve.
  7. Pour Butter Mixture: Pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan, then gently shake the pan to help the buttery syrup distribute between all the pieces.
  8. Bake: Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 35 minutes at 350°F until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool and Release: Remove from oven and let the monkey bread sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Then carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the bread.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly grease the bundt pan to avoid sticking.
  • Use fresh buttermilk biscuits for the best texture and flavor.
  • Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly before flipping to prevent breakage.
  • Serve warm for the gooey, soft texture; leftovers can be reheated.
  • Optionally, drizzle with glaze or icing after baking for extra sweetness.
