Description
Monkey Bread with Glaze is a pull-apart treat made from soft biscuit dough balls coated in cinnamon sugar, baked until golden, and finished with a sweet vanilla glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- Vanilla Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large zip-top bag, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Add biscuit pieces and shake to coat evenly.
- Layer the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared bundt pan.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces in the pan.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to form a glaze. Drizzle over warm monkey bread and serve.
Notes
- Best served warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the microwave.
- Add chopped nuts or raisins between layers for extra texture.
- Let cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting completely.
