A quick and easy monkey bread recipe using refrigerated biscuit dough coated in cinnamon and brown sugar, baked to a gooey, sticky perfection. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16.3 oz / 462 g) refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury Grands)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick, 115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Open the biscuit dough can and separate the dough into individual pieces. Cut each biscuit into quarters (about 24 pieces total).
  3. In a medium bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Dip each dough piece into the melted butter glaze to coat thoroughly.
  6. Roll the glazed dough pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  7. Layer the coated dough pieces evenly in the prepared bundt pan. Pour any remaining glaze over the dough balls.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until deep golden brown and bubbling with caramelized sugar. If edges brown too fast, cover loosely with foil after 25 minutes.
  9. Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to set the glaze.
  10. Invert onto a serving plate by shaking the pan gently and tapping the bottom. Use a butter knife around edges if needed.
  11. Serve warm and pull apart pieces with your fingers.

Notes

Grease the bundt pan generously to prevent sticking. Use fresh cinnamon for best flavor. You can prepare dough balls the night before and refrigerate covered, adding extra baking time. For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use vegan biscuit dough. Adding chopped nuts or fruit pieces is a great variation.
