Monkey bread is the ultimate shareable treat—a tall mound of cinnamon-sugar-coated dough balls that pull apart into sticky, caramelized pieces. Perfect for lazy weekend mornings.
Cut each biscuit into quarters. Roll each piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Layer the coated dough balls in a well-greased bundt pan.
Melt butter with brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Pour evenly over the dough balls.
Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes until puffed, golden, and the caramel is bubbling.
Let cool in the pan 5 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Pull apart and serve warm.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving
Serve alongside fresh fruit and your favorite morning beverage
Pair with crispy bacon or sausage links for a hearty start
Thaw frozen rolls before cutting and coating
A different but equally delicious finish
