  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Monkey Bread:

  • 2 cans biscuit dough
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/8 cup ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter

For the Simple Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

  • Open the cans of biscuit dough and break each biscuit into smaller balls, about 3 tablespoons worth of dough per ball.
  • Roll each piece into a round ball for even cooking.

Pro Tip: Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits into uniform pieces to ensure they bake evenly.

2. Create the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar, stirring well to mix.
  • Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

3. Assemble the Monkey Bread

  • Grease a deep-dish loaf pan or bundt pan generously with butter or cooking spray.
  • Add a single layer of dough balls to the bottom of the pan.
  • Sprinkle 1/8 cup of brown sugar over the layer.
  • Continue layering the dough balls, sprinkling the remaining 1/8 cup of brown sugar between layers.

Pro Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan. Only use as many dough balls as fit comfortably. Extra dough balls can be set aside.

4. Add Butter for Gooey Goodness

  • Melt the butter and pour it evenly over the dough layers.
  • Sprinkle some of the leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture on top for extra flavor.

5. Bake the Monkey Bread

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake the monkey bread for about 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  • Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.

Pro Tip: If the bread isn’t fully cooked, add a few more minutes to the baking time. Oven temperatures can vary.

6. Prepare the Glaze

  • While the bread bakes, mix powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. The glaze should be pourable but not too runny.

7. Serve and Enjoy

  • Once baked, allow the Monkey Bread to cool slightly before pouring the glaze over the top.
  • Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart each doughy, sweet piece.

Notes

  • Flavor: The buttery dough, spiced cinnamon-sugar coating, and caramelized brown sugar layers create a sweet, slightly spiced profile. The glaze adds a subtle hint of creaminess.
  • Texture: Soft and gooey on the inside, with a slightly crisp, caramelized exterior. The pull-apart design makes every bite fun and satisfying.
  • Aroma: The heavenly scent of warm cinnamon, sugar, and melted butter fills the kitchen, creating an irresistible invitation to dig in.
