Ingredients

2 , 16oz cans of biscuits
10 tablespoon salted butter (1 stick + 2 Tbsp)
¾ C granulated sugar
3 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously grease your bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Remove dough from your can of biscuits and cut into small pieces (I cut each biscuit into quarters).
Dip each piece of dough into the melted butter and then into the cinnamon sugar. Place coated dough pieces into your greased pan until all of the pieces have been dipped and added to the pan.
Place your filled pan into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the biscuits look golden brown and a toothpick inserted in doesn't come out doughy.
Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, and then invert onto a serving plate and enjoy warm!

Notes

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. Swap one-for-one with the white sugar if desired.
Make homemade dough instead of using store-bought. If you love making your own biscuits, there's no reason you couldn't use homemade biscuit dough.
Add a simple glaze on top. To make a simple glaze, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 teaspoons of water or milk and small splash of vanilla extract. Whisk until a smooth glaze is formed. Drizzle on top of your monkey bread after it's been turned out onto a serving plate.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover monkey bread should be covered tightly and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 15-30 seconds until your desired temperature is reached. Alternative place a larger portion on a cookie sheet and cover it with tinfoil. Place the baking sheet into a 170°F oven for 20-30 minutes.

Option to freeze baked monkey bread for up to 3 months. To do this, be sure the monkey bread has cooled to room temperature and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil and place it in your freezer. When ready to enjoy, allow the monkey bread to thaw at room temperature for about an hour and reheat prior to serving.
