Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers biscuits
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: ¼ cup raisins

Equipment

  • 1 Bundt pan
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Saucepan
  • Measuring cups
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Prep the Sugar Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Cut each biscuit into quarters and roll each piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
  3. Layer in the Pan: If using nuts or raisins, sprinkle a few in the bottom of the pan. Add the biscuit pieces evenly throughout the Bundt pan, layering with more nuts or raisins if desired.
  4. Make the Glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is bubbling. Remove from heat.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the warm glaze evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Cool and Invert: Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes. Place a large plate or serving dish over the pan and carefully invert it to release the monkey bread.
  7. Serve Warm: Pull apart and enjoy while warm and gooey!
