1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sauce)
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a Bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Cut each biscuit into four pieces.
3. In a zip-top bag or bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.
4. Toss biscuit pieces in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat well.
5. Layer the coated pieces evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
6. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
7. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the dough in the pan.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Let sit another 10 minutes.
10. Mix powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract in a bowl to form glaze. Drizzle over warm monkey bread.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Be sure to grease your Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Use room temperature milk or cream for a smooth glaze.
Monkey bread is best enjoyed warm—reheat leftovers for that fresh-from-the-oven texture.
