Do an internet search for "monkey bread" and you'll get around 4 million results! This is the recipe we've been using in our household for as long as I can remember.
We only have it on Christmas morning... I'm pretty sure it takes all year to burn off the calories! But it is sooooooo worth it!
Monkey Bread
- 2 cans biscuits (we use Pillsbury Grands!)
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup cinnamon
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a large plastic zipper bag, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Quarter each biscuit and add all the pieces to the bag. Shake until each piece of biscuit is coated with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray. Layer biscuit pieces in the pan.
Melt butter and mix in brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cook for just a couple of minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn or scorch. Pour over biscuits, lifting edges to allow mixture to reach the bottom of the pan. Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve warm with a glass of cold milk.
PREP IN ADVANCE: On Christmas Eve, I prepare the pan with the biscuits, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator. I put the butter and brown sugar in a small covered saucepan on the stove. On Christmas morning, I cook the butter and brown sugar while the oven preheats and bake the monkey bread while we open our stockings. It's ready to eat by the time we move to the presents under the tree.
