Ingredients

4 cans of Pillsbury Biscuits
1/2 cup melted butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating: In a one-gallon zip-top bag, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Shake to mix well.
Melt the butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and stir in the packed brown sugar until well combined. Set aside.
Cut the biscuits: Take each pre-sliced biscuit and cut it into fourths. Drop the pieces into the zip-top bag with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Seal the bag and shake until all the biscuit pieces are coated evenly.
Assemble in the bundt pan: Grease a bundt pan with non-stick spray. Place the coated biscuit pieces into the pan, spreading them out evenly. Once all the pieces are in, drizzle the butter and brown sugar mixture over the top. Let the mixture seep through the layers.
Bake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Cool and serve: Allow the monkey bread to rest for 5 minutes. Carefully flip the bundt pan upside down onto a serving plate. Serve warm with a glass of milk for the ultimate indulgence.

Notes

Serving Tips

Best Served Warm: Monkey bread is most delicious when served warm, right after flipping it out of the bundt pan. The gooey caramelized sugar and soft biscuit dough are at their peak flavor and texture.
Perfect Pairings: Pair this sweet treat with a cold glass of milk, a cup of hot coffee, or tea for the ultimate indulgent experience.
Portion-Friendly Option: Serve it pull-apart style for a fun, interactive experience. Guests can easily grab individual pieces without the need for cutting.

Storage Tips

Room Temperature: Store leftover monkey bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Ensure it’s completely cooled before storing to maintain its texture.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Wrap portions tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat, microwave individual servings for 15-20 seconds or place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes to restore their gooey texture.
