This classic monkey bread is soft, gooey, and loaded with cinnamon sugar in every pull-apart bite. Made with Pillsbury Grands biscuits and a buttery brown sugar sauce, it disappears fast.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cans Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuits 16.3 ounces each
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter 1 1/2 sticks

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease a standard 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly with nonstick spray or softened butter, making sure to coat the center tube and all crevices.
  • Open all three cans of biscuits and separate them.
  • Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
  • Place the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the biscuit pieces to the bowl and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Scatter the coated biscuit pieces evenly inside the prepared bundt pan, distributing them around the pan and over the center tube.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar to the saucepan.
  • Stir continuously until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, then remove from heat.
  • Slowly pour the warm butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the bundt pan, making sure the sauce flows between the gaps.
  • Place the bundt pan on the center rack of the oven.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until the top is deep golden brown and the center looks set.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Place a large plate over the bundt pan and carefully invert the monkey bread onto the plate.
  • Lift the pan slowly to release the monkey bread and allow the extra sauce to drip over the top.
  • Serve warm.
