  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 1 hr 5 min
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cans (16.3 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (8 Count)
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan.
  • 2
    In gallon-size food-storage plastic bag, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Separate dough into 16 biscuits; cut each in quarters.
  • 3
    Shake biscuit pieces in bag to coat; place in pan. Sprinkle any extra sugar mixture over biscuits.
  • 4
    In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar to boiling over medium-high heat; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour over biscuit pieces.
  • 5
    Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until biscuits are deep golden brown and cooked through in center. Cool 5 minutes. Turn upside down onto serving plate; pull apart to serve. Serve warm.

  • In the world of cake pans, not all fluted (bundt) ones are alike. Choose the most basic, classic shape for your caramel monkey bread—and if you don’t have one, a straight-sided tube pan will work just as well.
  • It’s important to carefully brush all the nooks and crannies of a fluted cake pan with oil—or use nonstick cooking spray. Otherwise, the gooey caramel coating will really stick when it’s time to unmold the bread.
  • For a nuanced spiced flavor that teams up well with the gooey caramel, try adding a little ground ginger or nutmeg in with the cinnamon when you make this quick monkey bread.
  • Monkey bread is also sometimes called pull-apart or puzzle bread because of its cobblestone texture that’s easy to pull apart into sugary bite-size pieces.
